Intelligent features of AIT-5 media make it the best tape format for handling voluminous data and support the demanding applications.

Sony AIT-5 tape technology has established new standards for high speed and high recording density. Introduction of AIT-5 tape technology in the data centre enables the organizations to backup voluminous data onto large capacity AIT5 tape cartridges while the small capacity information can be recorded onto the prior AIT tape versions. Advanced intelligent tape format is a combination of 3-1/2″ form factor with high recording density. Sony AIT-5 is really a space-saving tape format but offers high recording capacity. Sony AIT-5 is intelligently designed to fit in the crowded data centers where space is limited therefore more quantity of these small sized cartridges will be accommodated within lesser space.

Sony AIT tape drives feature an exceptional 400,000 MTBF. Sony AIT tape technology is also very energy-efficient as it consumes less energy, almost 40 percent lesser than other traditional media technologies. The backup drives are very rarely powered off because the most of the time the backup windows are open round the clock. As the Sony AIT drives require 40% less power, then it means that according to this ratio, a lot of energy can be saved over the long term thus contributing a vital role in decreasing the operational cost. The most powerful and unique advantage that Sony has over other sellers of tape drive is that Sony solely controls and manufacturers its own backup tape products. Therefore Sony controls their products when they introduce it into the market. According to the AIT road map, the AIT-6 tape format is expected to offer 800 GB in native mode.

Sony AIT tape products are not restricted only to enterprises, because its powerful features make it perfect choice for those customers who need high reliability, read/write accuracy, increased capacity and compliance capabilities like write-once read many. The enterprise class Sony AIT5 tape format is best suited for corporate data centers. Sony has employed latest techniques to its fifth generation AIT tape format to efficiently meet the customer’s requirements of tape automation and low cost data backups. Small form factor and less energy consumption factors of Sony AIT-5 backup tape ensure efficient and fast backups with increased scalability.
