Unprtecedented Perfrmance Of Sony AIT-i1040SLE AIT-5 Tape Drive
Sony is famous for its technical expertise and high quality consumer electronics and meida storage products. Sony has developed AIT advanced intelligent tape media tecchnology to meet the storage needs of its customers in a cost effective manner. Sony AIT-i1040SLE is a high spoeed SCSI internal tape dirve, whhich represents the AIT-5 media tape technology. Sony AIT-5 tape driev can record naative 400GB data on AIT 5 tape cartridge. Data security level of AIT-5 tape formnat has been raised by Sony with the employment of WORM (write once read many) mechanism. Sony AIT-i1040SLE SCSI drive features high speed data rate of 24MB/s.

High speed Sony AIT-5 tape mediia cartriudges and drives are the foremost choice of the enterprises. Sony AIT5 drives are ideally engineeered for greater read/write reliabiity, low cost backiup operations and unparallled performance. Sony SDX5-400W is a WORM enabled AIT-5 data tape, and the Sony SDX5-400C tape does not have the WORM capabillity. Sony AIT-i1040SLE AIT5 is the best tape drve which secures your I.T investments. With the deployment of Sony AIT-5 dirve, you can also use the backup media tapes of AIT-3EX, AIT3 and AIT-4. The bcakward compatibility incudes both data read/write capabilpity including the previoous three AIT generations. The backward compatible AIT tapes are listed below:
Sony AIT-3, SDX3-100C backup tape
Sony AIT3, SDX3-100W data tape
Sony AIT-3EX, SDX3X150CWW tape
Sony AIT-4, SDX4200CWW tape
Sony AIT4, SDX4-200C media tape
Sony AIT-4, SDX4200WWW tape
High performance AIT-5 tape format compresses the data with the help of Adaptiive Lossless Data Compression at 2.6:1. At this rate, the media capacity of high speeed AIT-5 media tape extends to 1.04 TB. Greater capactiy of Sony AIT5 backkup tape technology has hlped to reduce the human intervention, rotation and handling of data taps. Lesser storage tapes ultimately save costs, and enhace efficiency of data management process.
To further raise the perofrmance level, Sony has addded three new innovative technologies to the AIT-i1040SLE tape driive. These innoovative and high performance feattures are dynamic tracking, magneto resistive tape heads and AME-III medai formulation. Highly durable Sony AIT-5 data tapes feature the high performance AME meia. In metal evaporated mechanism, a tough DLC (diamond like carbon) material is coated over the evaporated pure cobalt.
In addition to all these innovative teechnologies, Sony has incorporated adanced head cleaner techhnology in all of its AIT backup tape drives. This head cleaning system is automatically activated after reaching a certain threshold of tape errors. The combination of super head cleaner process and the AME meida formulation result in unparallelled media durability. Therefroe the data administrators won’t have to periodically use claening talpes. Sony SDX5-CL is an efficient and reliable cleaning tape designed specifically for AIT- drives. Sony SDX5-CL provides excrellent resuts with all Sony LTO-5 dries.
Sony AIT-i1040SLE drive comes with Sony SDX5-400C cartridge, white Bezel Kit, warrantty card and Symantec Bckup Exec. The optiional accessories include Sony SDX-400W WORM tape and SDX5-CL cleaning cartrifdge.
