AIT offers the markets widest range of data capacities in a single format, with the new AIT-5 delivering a massive 400GB native capacity at 24MB/s native transfer speed. With read & write backwards compatibility with AIT-3, AIT-3Ex and AIT-4 generations, AIT-5 is the ideal drive for the current AIT user with fast growing data storage needs. And through the use of Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) media, AIT-5 also helps facilitate compliance with European data retention regulations too.

The WORM tape capabilities allows companies that require non-alterable media to gain up to a 20 times cost advantage over other WORM optical and hard disk based technologies.

Key Features and Benefits

• The smallest tape drive with 400GB native capacity - Same size as a DAT drive.
• Read and write compatibility with AIT-3, AIT-3Ex and AIT-4 media - Easy integration into existing AIT tape environments
• The highest reliability with an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 400,000 hrs - Compared to just 250,000 hrs for rival technologies – your business
  is more secure.
• WORM media supported -Facilitates regulatory compliance requirements for long term data archival.
• Easy integration together with a 3 year warranty ensuring total piece of mind solutions.
• Dust-protective bezels that seal the mechanism even when the media is ejected - Provides consistent performance even in harsh office environments.
• AME binder-free AIT media ensures a cleaner read/write head - Less head-clogging, less cleaning required, enabling higher reliability.

Best Suitable

Existing users of AIT-3, AIT-3Ex, AIT-4 generation drives - An ideal upgrade path for AIT users
SMBs that have outgrown their current storage system capabilities - Move up to 400GB native capacity..

Enhanced Capacity and Performance

The AIT-5 drive has a 400 GB native cartridge capacity available at lower than LTO 3 prices.
High Backup Data transfer rate with up to 24MB/s (native) and the search speed of 2,500 MB/Sec,ensure not only faster backups but restores as well.

More reliability

High reliable tape drive with 300.000h MTBF. The AIT-5 technology is more reliable than LTO and SDLT technologies.
AME Binder free AIT media for cleaner read write head, resulting in less head clogging, less cleaning required and higher reliability.
