Extending the excellence of Sony’s Advance Intelligent Tape™ into enterprise environments, Sony announces SAIT backup drives – AIT backup on larger, half inch (½”) tape format. Sony SAIT systems can potentially backup entire midsize servers. Or with SAIT, use and handle fewer media cartridges to backup your data center compared to other half tape formats. The super-large capacity SAIT tape solution delivers very economical cost per gigabyte backup.

Business Challenge

The explosive growth of data, driven by businesses of all sizes along with new government mandates for data retention, has led to a tremendous increase in demand for greater storage capacity. In addition, newer slim line servers no longer have the space for built-in tape back-up devices making storage increasingly difficult. Businesses, such as those working with large databases, video production, broadcast applications, medical imaging, and e-commerce transactions, need reliable tape storage solutions that keep pace with their hard disk capacities, that fits within a limited amount of space, and eliminates the need for time consuming manual wapping of tape cartridges.

Business Solution

Compared to competing tape formats, Sony’s SAIT technology represents a leap in capability and effectively addresses the growing business needs for reliable tape storage. Sony’s external SAIT tape drive easily fits on a desktop or in a rack mount environment and eclipses other formats with 500 GB native capacity per cartridge. This means you can now conveniently back-up and archive (and transport offsite for security) your important data using fewer cartridges. SAIT is your solution for backup, restoration and archival of critical corporate data, saving you time and money.
