Large scale enterprises rely on the reliable and cost effective backup solutions offered by linear tape open (LTO) format. Quantum LTO tape storage devices are developed to provide perfect balance of performance and value. Quantum has utilized its technical expertise and introduced breakthrough features in its newly designed LTO-4 Half-Height (HH) tape drive. Quantum LTO-4 HH drive offers extremely low cost per GB and is competitively priced. IT managers of small and mid-range businesses, busy data centers, network servers, remote offices and data rich environments should adopt the high performance and intelligent Quantum LTO 4 tape format.

The specifications of LTO-4 tape format ensure that the LTO4 drives should be able to perform their operations on both non-WORM and WORM tape cartridges. Part number MR-L4MQN-01 represents the high capacity Quantum LTO-4 cartridge, which features a tough and ultra smooth base film. With Quantum LTO-4 cartridge, the customers can backup 1600 GB compressed data and 800GB native data. LTO-4 HH tape drives offer highest level of data security with the help of WORM “write once read many” and hardware based encryption technologies.

Quantum LTO-4 drive can not only write new data to the LTO3 tape cartridges, but can also read the LTO2 and LTO 3 media as well. Quantum LTO4 HH drive features numerous exclusive features that contribute to the extraordinary media reliability and performance. In order to enhance the data integrity and reduce the backup window, Quantum has employed newly developed “Smart Verify” technology. Quantum offers all versions of LTO tapes which include:

Quantum LTO 1 tape MR-L1MQN-01-CLM200,
Quantum LTO 2 tape MR-L2MQN-01,
Quantum cleaning LTO cartridge, MR-LUCQN-01
Quantum LTO 3 tape MR-L3MQN-01,
Quantum LTO 5 tape MR-L5MQN-01,

“Fast sense” technology help to match the streaming speed of LTO-4 HH tape drive with the incoming data speed. “Fast sense” technique of Quantum LTO4 drive is more efficient and reliable than that of LTO4 drives manufactured by other companies. Quantum LTO-4 drive provides consistent performance because it is built tough to withstand heavy work stress and harsh working conditions. Quantum LTO-4 HH drive provides high class performance with lesser consumption of energy. The size of Quantum LTO4 drive and tape cartridges is smaller as compared to other tape formats; therefore lesser shelf space will be required and will help you to you efficiently manage the backup storage system.

The other traditional tape drives can waste more power and time. Traditional drives do not support high transfer speed that is why it will take much longer to complete high-volume backup. Some of the traditional drives may write too fast, which will deplete the data buffer and will ultimately consume more time to complete data backup. On the other hand, Quantum LTO-4 drive intelligently performs the read/write functions and optimizes the data performance to elevate the organization’s overall efficiency. Quantum drive has a unique “dynamic power down” mechanism which ensures protection of the drive’s components and media in case of unexpected power loss. Quantum LTO4 HH drive is more powerful and better serves the need of high volume backups in a cost-effective manner.

Sony AIT-e260/S SCSI drive provides excellent data accuracy at sustained compressed rate of 31 MB per second. For regulatory compliance, Sony has employed WORM functionality to its AIT-3 technology. AIT-3 Sony format offers more choice to its clients. That is why Sony has introduced re-writable and WORM media tapes. Sony SDX3-100W features the WORM media. Non-WORM AIT-3 cartridge is Sony SDX3-100C. You can efficiently preserve 260GB compressed information on AIT 3 media tapes.

Sony is committed to double the performance and storage capability with each of new AIT tape generation, while continuing to offer backward compatibility. AIT-e260/S external drive offers its users data writing ability and instant access to both previous generations, which are AIT-2 and AIT-1. Therefore by installing the AIT-3 AIT-e260/S drive, the enterprises can benefit more by using all the three versions of AIT-3 tape with a single tape drive. Backward read and write compatible media tapes are:

Sony AIT-2 50 GB WORM tape, SDX2-50WA
Sony AIT-2 36 GB tape, SDX2-36C
Sony AIT-2 50 GB tape, SDX2-50C
Sony AIT-1 35 GB tape, SDX1-35C
Sony AIT-1 25 GB tape, SDX1-25C

Sony AIT3 drive provides its customers the luxury to migrate and upgrade their storage system without losing their accessibility to the previous stored data. Compact AIT-3 data tapes are highly dependable and are robustly built for long term protection. Sony AIT-3 tape cartridges are designed for reliable transportation of data in legal, defense, medical, government, surveillance and financial industries.

Sony AIT3 tape technology enables the organizations to standardize their sensitive and critical information in one format throughout all of their corporate levels. AIT-3 tape drive has been engineered to deliver unprecedented data protection, data integrity and intelligence to the demanding environments. An intelligent memory chip called R-MIC (remote memory in cassette) is included in AIT3 tapes for ultra high speed access to the stored files. For decreased media wear, Sony uses a robustly designed “Hyper Metal” tape head in its AIT drives. This durable head assures reliable data tracking and enhanced read/write performance in harsh working conditions.

Sony SDX1-CL cleaning cartridge provides excellent performance with AIT-e260/S external drive. Advanced metal evaporated (AME) media formulation has been introduced by Sony for increasing the bit density, maximum magnetic energy and ultra fine smoothness of tape recording media. All of these technical advancements made by Sony assist the AIT-3 tape format to carry out the data storage and archival functions at lowest cost.
