SDX-900V drive creates a contamination free environment, where the tape media and head come in contact to perform cost efficient and error free read/write operations. Its "super head cleaner" system is another high performance feature that enhances tape head's useful life. The operational and maintenance cost of Sony SDX-900V drive is extremely low, and the data administrators will not have to do periodic drive cleanings. Sony SDX4CLLWW is the best economical AIT tape -4 cleaning cartridge that protects the media and drive components, thus resulting in extended working life.
High-speed AIT4 tapes are based on AME media. AME is an advanced and intelligent tape media manufacturing technology, which produces robust and superior quality media. High speed SDX-900V drive delivers high-class performance with lesser power consumption. It is the desire and need of every data manger to get high-speed data access. To fulfill this need, a 64 KB R-MIC (remote memory in cassette) is incorporated to the AIT-4 data cartridges. R-MIC chip is designed to ensure ultra high-speed file access. R-MIC technology sets AIT-4 cartridge apart from other traditional media tapes.
SDX-900V drive intelligently compresses the data files at 2.6:1. Data compression algorithm employed to the Sony SDX-900V drive is ALDC (Adaptive Lossless Data Compression). The users can be assured of high-speed backups as the SDX-900V drive can record the entire AIT-4 storage tape in one complete pass. Introduction of WORM functionality to the Sony's AIT-4 technology adds another layer to the data security.
Advanced intelligent tape storage technology uses helical scan in which the data is recorded on diagonal tracks. The recording system in AIT tape format is very intelligent and ensures precise data recording. The AIT tape drive pulls the tape from the AIT cartridge and then wraps it around the head of tape drive so that the data could be read or recorded on the media. Tape tension has been significantly reduced in AIT tape technology that has resulted in enhanced reliability and output characteristics. Native recording capacity of the AIT-5 data tape is 400GB and with 2.6:1 compression, it reaches to 1.04 TB. Backward compatibility of the AIT5 tape allows the users to retrieve and record data from the media tapes based on prior AIT tape versions. AIT-5 supports both read & write backward compatibility. This backward compatibility feature of AIT-5 facilitates the enterprises to easily migrate and upgrade their backup system to higher capacity. Therefore the users do not have to sacrifice their compatibility and access with the previous AIT tape versions. AIT5 is a high density tape format that enables the enterprises to conserve space as they have to manage fewer tape cartridges.

AIT-5 tape drives offer the WORM technique and are also multi-functional. Both the Worm and non-WORM AIT-5 tapes ensure superior performance and increased overall efficiency. Sony AIT-5 tape technology is perfect choice for data intensive applications. AIT media tape technology continues to coincide and progress with the growing demands of the SMBs and has always upgraded its speed, performance level and capacity to support the ever increasing requirements of the enterprises.
AIT-5 tape media meets the real world performance needs and demands efficiently. When we compare AIT-5 and other data tape technologies, the AIT-5 tape technology saves energy up to 40% thus helping the enterprises in conserving energy. This leads to low ownership costs. Exceptional reliability of Sony AIT-5 media ensures low error rate and superior output frequency. In order to verify and test the AIT tape -5 tape products' compatibility, Sony Corporation has worked with the independent vendors of software. This has helped in ensuring complete interoperability and wide support with the leading archival & backup applications.
