Sony AIT-4 Backup Solution’s Performance Compared With LTO 2 Tape Media Technology by Frank Miller
Pressures of today’s stringent government regulations, increased customer expectations, constrained data center space, greater risk of data loss and higher operational efficiency have all types of businesses and organizations clamoring for reliable and compact backup solutions. The storage-intensive SMBs call for the industry’s most compact AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) technology, which was invented by the global backup media giant, Sony.
Sony’s fourth generation AIT4 drives, AITi520S (internal) and AITe520S (external), are the smallest drives in their class that deliver the speed and exceptional reliability demanded by modern time-critical applications. AIT-4 solution offers low cost per GB, remarkable storage density and cost-saving backward compatibility. That is why the data administrators of financial organizations, SMBs and public organizations prefer Sony AIT-4 solution.
Sony SDX4-200C, AIT4 tape can seamlessly retain 200GB data. Native capacity of Sony AIT4 cartridge is equivalent to that of LTO2 tape. But AIT4 tape cartridge can hold more amounts of compressed data, which is 520 GB. This has been made possible by increasing the data compressing capability of AIT-4 drives to 2.6:1. Compressed storage capacity of LTO ultrium2 cartridge is 400 GB. Sony AIT-4 drives can efficiently backup 86.4 GB native data, thus satisfying the demands of enterprise class automation at the best price.
Compact AIT4 tapes will occupy lesser space on your shelf space, whereas the enhanced storage capacity reduces the number of tapes required for data backups.
MTBF rating of Sony AIT4 drives is much superior to that of its rival tape technologies. With an unmatched 400,000 MTBF, the AIT4 customers can enjoy superior read/record accuracy. Clear migration path is provided to the users of AIT-3, AIT2 and AIT 1 as all of these tape generations are read compatible with AIT4 drives. Moreover, the ability to write data onto AIT 3 tapes further improves the storage value. That is why the value-conscious customers are more attracted to AIT-4 solution, which provides greater media compatibility and excellent investment protection.
Sony is the world’s leading tape brand. Sony-branded tapes are carefully engineered for a wider range of storage needs. Sony tapes that are highly popular in SMB marketplace are Travan TR-1, LTO ultrium3, DAT-320, SDLT1, SLR-MLR, LTO2, DLT-4 and LTO1 ultrium.
WORM (write once, read many) is an advantageous feature incorporated in AIT4 technology to provide tamper-proof data backups. The data stored on AIT-4 WORM tape is protected against all types of operating errors such as inadvertent data erasure, modifications and over-writings. Sony AIT4 drives feature a sealed tape path area, which provide remarkable protection against dust particles and other pollutants. Therefore, the IT managers can reliably backup/store data in dusty office environments.
Fastest data access (average 44 seconds) makes Sony AIT4 the best backup technology for data-intensive organizations. Sony AIT4 tape’s ultra-fine base features a strong cobalt layer that improves the tape life. Smooth tape recording medium means less media wear and fast tape movement. Head life of Sony AIT 4 drives is 50,000 hours, whereas the archival life of AIT4 backup tape is thirty years.
