Sony AIT-5 tape format has introduced the capability of backward compatibility. Sony AIT tape family offers the widest range of media storage products in today’s tape market. The native capacity of the Sony AIT data tapes ranges from 20GB to 400GB. Therefore this wide capacity range of AIT media tapes offers more flexibility to the users to select the AIT tape version that suits their basic backup requirements. Sony AIT tape technology has enabled the customers of enterprises to standardize on a single media storage format. The remote offices can rely on the earlier versions of Sony AIT tape due to their smaller storage needs, while on the other hand the AIT5 tape format is the ideal choice for data centers. Intelligent features of AIT-5 media make it the best tape format for handling voluminous data and support the demanding applications.
Sony AIT-5 tape technology has established new standards for high speed and high recording density. Introduction of AIT-5 tape technology in the data centre enables the organizations to backup voluminous data onto large capacity AIT5 tape cartridges while the small capacity information can be recorded onto the prior AIT tape versions. Advanced intelligent tape format is a combination of 3-1/2″ form factor with high recording density. Sony AIT-5 is really a space-saving tape format but offers high recording capacity. Sony AIT-5 is intelligently designed to fit in the crowded data centers where space is limited therefore more quantity of these small sized cartridges will be accommodated within lesser space.
Sony AIT tape drives feature an exceptional 400,000 MTBF. Sony AIT tape technology is also very energy-efficient as it consumes less energy, almost 40 percent lesser than other traditional media technologies. The backup drives are very rarely powered off because the most of the time the backup windows are open round the clock. As the Sony AIT drives require 40% less power, then it means that according to this ratio, a lot of energy can be saved over the long term thus contributing a vital role in decreasing the operational cost. The most powerful and unique advantage that Sony has over other sellers of tape drive is that Sony solely controls and manufacturers its own backup tape products. Therefore Sony controls their products when they introduce it into the market. According to the AIT road map, the AIT-6 tape format is expected to offer 800 GB in native mode.
Sony AIT tape products are not restricted only to enterprises, because its powerful features make it perfect choice for those customers who need high reliability, read/write accuracy, increased capacity and compliance capabilities like write-once read many. The enterprise class Sony AIT5 tape format is best suited for corporate data centers. Sony has employed latest techniques to its fifth generation AIT tape format to efficiently meet the customer’s requirements of tape automation and low cost data backups. Small form factor and less energy consumption factors of Sony AIT-5 backup tape ensure efficient and fast backups with increased scalability. AIT-5 tape format just like its prior tape versions uses the helical scan technology. In this technology, a spinning head moves along diagonal tracks for reading/recording information.

Sony no doubt is the leading vendor of high quality backup media and is also the leading OEM supplier for most of the major computer and IT manufacturers. A complete line of highly durable backup storage products are offered by Sony. Sony Corporation is the market leader of both professional and consumer media. Sony AIT-5 tape format is recognized for its unmatched reliability and high quality. Sony has been serving its customers with durable backup tape storage products for more than fifty years.
Sony SDX5-400W cartridge belongs to the fifth version of advanced intelligent tape. Numerous intelligently engineered technologies have made the Sony AIT-5 tape more durable and cost efficient than other technologies. Sony SDX5-400W is the smallest tape cartridge when compared with other tape formats of same recording capacity. The small Sony AIT-5 cartridge records massive amounts of information which is 400GB (uncompressed data). Data is transferred onto the AIT-5 tape cartridge at 24 MB/second (compressed rate). When the data is compressed, the Sony AIT-5 tape cartridge’s recording capacity will increase to 1.04TB.
The rotating drum in AIT-5 tape is based on head platform which is highly stable and robust. The helical scan technology ensures that the data is accurately recorded onto the Sony SDX5-400W tape cartridge at a fast speed with high level of reliability. In AIT-5 tape format, the information is stored at high recording densities with decreased error rate. The SDX5-400W tape media comprises of efficiently packed track density which is 5 times greater the tape recording formats based on linear-serpentine technology. Therefore the Sony AIT5 is the most space efficient tape technology as it has the capability to pack more volumes of critical data. The tape head accurately reads and records the data in AIT-5 tape technology as it comprises of magneto-resistive head technology.
MR tape heads are very advantageous, reliable and have the ability to support higher recording densities. MR head assist the AIT-5media cartridge to pack more data amounts. The quality of signal read-back is elevated by the innovative dynamic tracking system employed in AIT-5 tape format. The function of the dynamic tacking mechanism is to control the position of the MR (magneto-resistive) head when it is reading the data. Maximum strength of data retrieval and data read-back is ensured by the MR head of AIT-5 because it tracks & fluctuates along with the recorded information. Unmatched durability and remarkable areal density is offered by the Sony SDX5-400W tape which is made possible by the highly reliable AME III technology.
The AME III technology helps the AIT-5 tape format to run its operations smoothly. A new method has been devised in AME-III to apply the magnetic layer onto the tape media. New advanced lubricant is used in Sony SDX5-400W tape technology to stabilize its working operations. AME-III has decreased the size of the magnetic particles which has resulted in increased density of Sony SDX5-400W AIT-5 tape.
