The explosive growth of computer disk capacity, networks and database applications has driven a huge demand for data storage products. And tape drives, due to their low cost per megabyte, are the solution of choice for regular data backup and storage. But as the speed at which information is created continues to skyrocket, traditional tape backup solutions are hard-pressed to keep up. For organizations with data-intensive applications and large information storage requirements, the problem is even more critical-as the volume of information grows, the time and cost required to safely back up that data also increases. These organizations need reliable, high-performance, high-capacity storage solutions that can keep pace with their businesses. Sony's Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) technology is the latest in a long line of innovative tape solutions developed and brought to market by Sony. For over 50 years, Sony has led the industry in developing new tape technologies for practical applications-from the first audio recording stationary head device to the first digital audio tape. Now, Sony's AIT drives and autoloaders are setting new standards for reliability, capacity and performance in today's most demanding environments. Whether you need a single drive to back up a workstation or a multi-cartridge tape autoloader for unattended network backup, Sony's AIT solutions provide a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance solution.
