Loss of business-critical information or data corruption can be financially catastrophic. This might result in total business failure or lost revenue. Today's business enterprises demand a robust backup storage solution capable of delivering robust data security, cost-efficient performance and improved scalability. You can count on AIT (advanced intelligent tape) technology that has been intelligently engineered by Sony to overcome the backup storage challenges of medium & small businesses.
Smaller size, low operating cost, scalable tape versions and longer archival life make AIT tape a smart investment for budget-constrained organizations. Another compelling feature that makes AIT format more cost-efficient and superior in its class is the exceptional data compression capability of 2.6:1. The majority of rival tape formats deliver up to 2:1 data compression. The third generation AIT3 technology delivers the durability, capacity and fast data access speed demanded by high-end workstations, public organizations, commercial applications, small computing systems, financial institutions and medium sized businesses.

Sony AIT3 tape can retain up to 100 GB native data. The AIT3 customers can fulfill the demands of stringent government and industry regulations through its remarkable WORM (write once, read many) mechanism. Now you can secure the sensitive organizational data against un-authorized access, human errors and inadvertent erasures. WORM functionality has been embedded in Sony SDX3-100W, AIT3 backup tape. For re-writable operations, Sony has developed SDX3-100C, AIT3 cartridge. So the customers are provided more flexibility and they can select the AIT-3 backup tape that best suits their requirements.
Sony AIT-3 drives, available in single ended LVDS and SCSI ultra-160 interfaces, shorten backup windows and increase the storage efficiency with their fast data transfer speed. AIT3 drives feature a remarkable native speed of 12 MB/second. These robust tape drives employ a cutting-edge "head cleaner" system, which reduces the need for periodic drive cleaning. Sony SDX1-CL is a high-performance cleaning cartridge that has been designed for AIT3, AIT2 and AIT1 drives. Investment protection is ensured by Sony AIT3 technology thorough its write-and-read compatibility with previous two generations. So the businesses can cost-effectively upgrade their AIT systems and utilize their prior AIT tapes with the next generation AIT-3 tape drives.
AIT tape format's close competitors are RDX removable disk technology, LTO 2 ultrium tape, DLT tape, SLR-140 tape, LTO1 tape, VXA tape, SDLT tape, Travan TR5 tape and LTO3 ultrium tape.
AME (advanced metal evaporated) is a robust media formulation that has helped to increase the durability and performance of AIT backup tapes. The addition of MIC (memory in cassette) technology contributes to the faster data access and media load times. Sony AIT3 tape drive offers an exceptionally fast data access time of 27 seconds, whereas the media loading time is only 10 seconds. The media archival life of Sony's compact AIT3 backup tape is thirty years. Sony AIT 3 tape drive achieves an outstanding 400,000 hours MTBF, thus ensuring rock solid reliability.
Sony AIT3 tape format is the optimal space-efficient solution for the demanding data centers.
