|
Introduction |
||||
| HP AIT storage media are ideal for departmental and workgroup backups where capacity, performance and cost are critical. HP AIT offers compressed capacities from 70GB to 200GB with built in MIC technology giving faster file access and higher reliability. AIT media with Advanced Intelligent Tape technology offers fast data access and a low maintenance solution for AIT tape drive customers. Optimum compatibility with all current HP AIT and pre-merger Compaq AIT drives, autoloaders and libraries. It is 27% faster data access with built-in memory offers greater data integrity. AIT drives have self-cleaning heads to prevent an abundance of debris build-up. For extra protection, HP AIT cleaning cartridges are good for up to 70 cleans per cartridge. | ||||

Product Highlights
| Proven Reliability | HP ensures the highest level of quality with media specifications that far exceed industry standards. HP has 20 custom-built testing chambers that are in use 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. No other media supplier carries out such exhaustive qualification of the drive and media as HP. This is because no media supplier conducts extensive drive based tests on a daily basis and moreover, supports hardware warranty initiatives in the field with a vested interest in reducing all media-induced hardware issues. In 2002, 170,000 different media tests were performed, accounting for 1.3 million test hours. HP also conducts tests on multiple batches of media using multiple drives to ensure performance in different environmental conditions, such as variations of high/low temperature and humidity. Changes in external conditions, which can easily occur when media is moved from different locations, can have a huge impact on error rate performance. Increased error rates jeopardizes backup, and backup disruption jeopardizes business continuity. HP customers are many and varied; this is why HP specifies stringent durability and reliability metrics that the media must satisfy before it is good enough to bear the HP logo. |

| AIT Technology | AIT or Advanced Intelligent Tape is a proprietary technology developed by SONY. AIT is ideal for businesses that require high-capacity, high-performance storage media with limited on-site storage space. Sony introduced AIT into the market place in 1997. AME allowed 8mm technology to expand into higher capacities and tape length. With the introduction of AME technology, AIT media has been able to make the capacity jumps to enter into the mid-range and automation space. AIT-1 introduced as a migration path for DDS users to reach higher capacities and performance. Despite its increased capacities, AIT does not offer the interchangeability that other tape technologies do and can be construed as proprietary and cannot compete against the open standard technologies (Metal Partical or MP based). For example: While AIT and Mammoth share similar technologies and design, they are not compatible and should be considered proprietary. Mammoth drives will not work with AIT media and visa-versa. Drive firmware and software prevent this. |
