Sony's AIT5 backup media tape, part number SDX5-400C, can backup 400GB uncompressed data. Physical size of AIT5 tape is almost 67-68% smaller than rival half-inch tapes, making it the most compact tape cartridge in its class. Sony AIT5 drives, based on 5.25-inch form factor, are available in both external and internal models. So the data administrators can flexibly integrate the Sony AIT5 system into a wider range of data-centers. Native throughput speed offered by AIT5 tape drives is 24MB/second. That's why AIT5 has become the first choice for Windows server applications. Sony AIT5 tape technology delivers superior storage value and higher compression ratio of 2.6 to 1. Therefore, the AIT-5 drives can seamlessly store 1040GB compressed data onto AIT5 backup tape.
The backward media compatibility of Sony AIT5 drives has been extended up to two previous generations. Now the users can seamlessly read and write data to AIT-3Ex, AIT3 and AIT4 backup tapes with superior reliability. The backward compatible Sony AIT tapes and their part numbers are:
Sony AIT4 tape, SDX4-200C
Sony AIT3 backup tape, SDX3-100C
Now the business enterprises can cost-effectively satisfy the tough data retention regulations by utilizing the AIT-5 tape technology's WORM (write once, read many) functionality. WORM is the best solution for long term storage, as it provides robust protection against malicious data access, operating errors and accidental over-writings. Therefore the organizations can reliably share, store and archive their sensitive corporate data and be assured of superior data integrity.
SMB industry is growing rapidly. Some of the other high-performance Sony tapes that are well-suited for SMBs are DAT72 tape, LTO 1 ultrium tape, DLT-4 tape, DAT-320 tape, DDS4 tape, LTO3 ultrium, Travan tape and LTO2 tape. These robustly designed Sony tapes are built on industry standards, and are the best choice for off-site and on-line storage.
Sony has introduced special "dust protective bezels" that protect the drive components and tape path area from dust particles and other airborne pollutants. This special feature empowers the Sony AIT5 drive to ensure consistent performance even under harsh working conditions. Sony AIT5 drives are an excellent choice for Fujitsu-Siemens, IBM, Dell and HP servers.
So protect your business enterprises with Sony AIT5 solution, and enjoy long term reliability and higher operating efficiency.
