Modern business applications and management information systems run 24/7.  Therefore, the data administrators have to assure robust data protection and integrity of their precious business data.  Pressure of increasing budget-constraints, modern business applications, limited data-center space and rapidly growing data volumes have sky-rocketed the demand for smarter, faster, economical and efficient storage solutions.

Today’s small and medium businesses call for AIT (advanced intelligent tape) solution that has been engineered by Sony.  The high-performance AIT backup tape technology far exceeds the expectations and needs of the SMB market. Sony has a solid history of innovating & developing new backup media devices and applications. Sony AIT tape format maximizes the performance and features the ability to squeeze large amount of data within significantly lesser space.

Sony has designed a super-fast SDX-500C, AIT-2 internal drive that provides reliable and efficient backups at 15.6 MB/s compressed transfer rate. Sony SDX-500C drive is a smart choice for automated storage environments, government agencies, desktop workstations and demanding data centers.

Sony AIT-2 tape format offers native capacities of 36GB and 50GB.  SDX2-50C AIT-2 cartridge can accommodate 50GB, while SDX2-36C AIT2 cartridge can pack 36GB data.  That’s not all; Sony has also introduced SDX2-50W AIT-2 tape, which features the WORM (write once, read many) functionality.  Therefore, the users can confidently secure their sensitive business data for longer time periods and fulfill the rigid mandates of government regulations.  WORM technology puts a stop to un-intentional data overwriting, malicious data access and accidental data erasure.

You will be amazed to know that AIT internal tape drives are almost 73 percent smaller than the rival tape media drives, which is the main selling point of AIT backup tape format.  With SDX-500C, AIT-2 drive, you can also read/write data to the AIT-1 media tapes.  Thanks to this special backward compatibility, you can use both AIT-1 & AIT-2 media with the compact SDX-500C tape drive.  The most powerful and cost-saving feature of AIT drive is the increased data compression ratio.  AIT drives offer 2.6:1 data compressing capability, which is higher than the competitors’ 2:1.  With 2.6:1 data compression, the data storage capacity of AIT-2 tape cartridge boosts to 130GB.

Fast data accessibility and superior data integrity are essential for gaining competitive edge.  Data access and media loading/unloading times have been dramatically shortened with the introduction of memory-in-cassette (MIC) technology.  MIC is a small, compact memory chip that is embedded in the AIT cartridge.  MIC technology accelerates the data searching process and provides high-speed backups under heavy duty cycles.

Pressure on tape media and drive head increases due to repeated media load/unloads.  Therefore, Sony has designed a highly durable drive head, which provides an unbeatable media durability up to 50,000 hrs. What’s more, the MTBF rating of SDX-500C tape drive is 300,000 hours. With Sony AIT solution, you can be confident of long term durability and outstanding performance with the leading business applications and operating systems.  Product and software names mentioned throughout this article are trademarks and are sole property of their owners.

There is a plethora of backup tape formats that are offering backup solution for small & medium enterprise industry.  The key question for the IT professionals is which tape format to choose.  The optimal solution is the DDS (digital data storage) format, which efficiently fulfills the evolving needs of the enterprises at a greater value.

Sony co-founded this powerful DDS tape format.  Sony is a leading brand of DDS backup tapes and drives.  Sony SDT-9000 is an intelligently designed DDS-3 tape drive that offers the reliability and performance demanded by the SMB market.  Sony SDT-9000 tape drive ensures robust data protection and higher storage value through its advanced error correction code, RAW (read after write), backward media compatibility and other cost-efficient features.

Sony is a leading innovator in tape media & tape drives.  Sony DDS-3 backup tape, part number DGD125PWW, delivers outstanding performance and exceptional reliability with SDT-9000 tape drive.  Customers of small and mid-range enterprises trust Sony DDS-3 tape technology for higher reliability, long term storage and security of sensitive business data.  12GB / 24GB data can be packed on a single DDS3 tape.

DDS tape technology secures investment and provides complete peace of mind with its scalable technology roadmap.  SDT-9000 tape drive is fully compatible (write-read) with DDS-1, DDS-2 and DDS-3 backup tape media.  So the users can flexibly and cost-effectively migrate to the higher capacity DDS-3 tape generation and confidently perform the backup operations with the previous generation DDS tapes.

Sony offers full range DDS backup tape cartridges. Since the introduction of DDS tape format, Sony has continued supplying DDS tapes, extending up to 7th generation DAT-320 tape.  Part numbers of Sony DDS tape cartridges are DGDAT320, dgdat160, dgdat72ww, DG60P, DGD-120P and dgd150pww.  These multiple tape generations help to provides greater media choice to the data managers.

Sony’s portfolio comprises of leading tape media technologies including LTO tape, AIT backup tape, SDLT tape and DLT tape. I have listed down some of the popular tape cartridges manufactured by Sony:

Sony AIT tapes
SDX4-200C, sdx2-50c, sdx3-100c, sdx5-400c

Sony SDLT-1 backup tape
SDLT1-320

Sony DLT-4, dlt-iv tape
DL4TK88

Sony LTO backup tapes
LTX1500g, ltx400gww, ltx800g, ltx200g, ltx100g

Sony’s tightly-controlled media manufacturing process helps to ensure premier quality and longer working life.  Sony DDS-3 tape reel is protected by a dual-layer coating, which comprises of a non-magnetic & magnetic layer. The non-magnetic layer results in a smooth tape surface while the magnetic layer helps to elevate the storage performance even under increased workloads and unfavorable working conditions.

Overall storage efficiency and performance is not affected by repeated load/unload cycles.  For longer life expectancy and higher reliability, Sony has incorporated an advanced high cross (HCL) linkage binder.  HCL binder helps to ensure seamless tape movement and tape stability.  Rough handling, external stress and unintentional drops can damage the tape cartridges.

Sony has solved this problem with the introduction of strong cartridge shell, which has helped to maximize the overall cartridge strength.  Therefore the Sony DDS3 cartridges can withstand inadvertent tape drops, external stress and rough tape handlings.  Product and software names mentioned throughout this article are trademarks and are sole property of their owners.
