Businesses of all sizes need to be careful in the world of today considering the external and internal threats to their organizations. External threats not only include disasters and/or damage done to a building but it is also inclusive of hackers. Since the corporate world has become an arena of tough and cut-throat competition, many businesses are ready and willing to employ hackers and their services in order to eliminate the competition. Hackers use viruses which directly attack the databases of companies and since quite a few companies are unaware of the need to protect their networks.

These viruses can be sent online. Viruses can also be sent via offline methods. The viruses could not only tamper the data but important information can be put into the wrong hands (in the hands of competitors, for example) and this could potentially ruin a company or its reputation. This is where backup technology could help companies restore lost information.

LTO and DDS are examples of backup technology. Backup technology, as the name suggests, provides companies with additional storage capacity so that they can store important ...
... information on to these and use them later on. Companies that depend on and specialize in research and development often use backup technology to compare their past research with their current findings.

The loss of such information could result in the company having to go about the whole project and research all over again. While some companies have the funds to do so, others do not. That is why it is often better to be safe than sorry. Many companies involved in research for nuclear power and/or defence projects use backup technology to keep such information secret because it could be quite hazardous if it falls into the wrong hands.

The Sony AIT-3 tape would allow such companies to keep their findings safe. These tapes come with a storage capacity of 100 GB where native capacity is concerned and so, a lot of information can be stored on to these tapes. Also, they have backward and forward capabilities. The backward capability enables the AIT-3 tape to read information stored in the AIT-1 and AIT-2 tapes while the forward capabilities allow them to read the information stored in more recent generations of the tape as well.

So, one need not worry about having to store the same data on different tapes at different times.The Sony AIT-3 tape would require the AIT-3 tape drive so that the tape itself can be read. This provides companies with additional storage capacity since it has a storage capacity of 260 GB. The tape drive also has a fast data transfer rate from 12-31 MB/s. The file access speed allows companies to access information fast and efficiently.Hence, the Sony AIT-3 tape and tape drive would provide companies with the right backup technology in times of crisis and threats. This would prepare businesses and companies so that they can bounce back up despite loss of information.

AIT-3 tapes are very robust, reliable and cost efficient.High performance SDLT tapes, LTO tapes, DDS tapes, AIT tapes, RDX cartridges and Sony AIT-5 tapes are available at Odsi.co.uk, at low price.
