S-AIT has been developed to address the ever-increasing high-end storage needs of data intensive network environments. Sony AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) media continues to be a key enabling technology.

The Next Generation of DLT Platform - Super DLT I has a capacity of 160 GB native and 320 GB compressed (2: 1 compression).

DLTtape technology is already featured in millions of cartridges at enterprise customers of every description. DLTtape is on the move. Super DLTtape drives and cartridges offer a cost effective high performance back-up system. Value DLTtape drives are compact, affordable half-height products and work with affordable, reliable cartridges, like the Sony DLTtape VS1. Sony is proud to be the very first media company licensed by Quantum to manufacture the DLTtape VS1 cartridge.

IDC estimates that enterprise storage is increasing 87% per year! Sony DLTtape VS1 media can help. Loaded into a Quantum DLT VS160 drive, a single cartridge can hold up to 160 Gigabytes compressed or 80 GB native. That's plenty of storage for backing up midrange servers - and great news for an era of ever-growing multimedia files.

High capacity requires fast transfer. Sony DLTtape VS1 media keeps your backup windows small with 16 Megabytes per second compressed transfer speed (8 MB/sec native). Today's DLT VS160 drives represent the second generation of the DLTtape Value line, which started with DLT VS80 drives. Quantum has charted the future to DLT VS320 drives (320 GB compressed) and DLT VS600 drives (600 GB compressed).

This product is compatible with Quantum and Tandberg DLT VS160 drives.

DDS is historically the most reliable and durable technology ever introduced within the tape market. DDS is ideal for entry-level and small networks looking for higher capacities with lower cost of ownership. DDS is an affordable solution for unattended back ups. HP co-invented DDS technology and was the first company to expand its DDS offering into the 5th generation known as DAT-72. In addition to co-inventing the DDS technology, HP also co-invented DAT-72 and the new generation of DAT-160. HP's DDS media portfolio is now the most robust within the industry. HP has extended an already popular and trusted format by doubling the transfer rate to 12 MB/sec and more than doubling the capacity to 160 GB to create the new DAT 160.

Protecting the needs of small or medium business, the HP StorageWorks DAT 160 USB Tape Drive is the highest capacity and performance DAT drive with up to 160GB compressed data per cartridge and speeds of around 50GB/hr (assuming 2:1 data compression). The USB 2.0 interface provides plug-and-play connectivity, enabling backup to be initiated from straight out-of-the-box in less than 60 seconds.

With the boom of the information age, there is a growing demand for higher-capacity, faster, more dependable media products. Sony quickly responds to your needs through highly reliable media that safely and accurately stores ever-increasing volumes of data. Sony's line-up of data media makes use of the latest technology to accommodate a wide range of applications. With Sony media, you can be sure that your every storage need is met with the highest level of quality.

Sony AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) format is intelligently engineered to stand apart - no other tape cartridge features both an MIC chip (the brains) and a pure metal magnetic layer designed for maximum capacity and longevity (the brawn).

You work hard to collect or create critical data and files. Why not let your storage system work hard for you? The MIC chip brain stores directory information so it can go right to the data you need. Other formats have to search for your file, wasting valuable time and needless wear. Application software from The AIT Forum members gives you even more advantages for intelligent storage solutions.

Forget about slow tapes that wear out. Not only is the AIT magnetic layer pure metal (instead of a metallic oxide) but it's protected by patented technology on both the front and back. Sony's Diamond Like Carbon coating is 20 times harder than oxide, and so smooth that head wear and cleaning requirements are minimized.

Sony's AIT cartridges will still be here, thanks to their 30-year archival life. If you plan on upgrades before then, Sony is committed to supporting future evolution of this powerful format. Don't trust your data to a dead-end format - choose AIT.
