Sony LTO 1 Media Tape LTX100G

Corporate data is very important and sensitive must be kept in better protection for a very long time of period. LTO LTX100G Tape the first commercial LTO Ultrium tape format which introduced in the year 2000. Sony uses its long experienced and assumed all existing technologies to make this most reliable and durable storage media tape format. LTO-1 LTX100G tapes are full of remarkable features which able to protect data as well its quality and matched with different requirements of intense data storage settings. Sony uses some very exciting and reliable Sony’s original techniques. LTO Ultrium tape drive head is able to read the information by passing over the pre-build data tracks on the Sony LTO LTX100G base film in which the information has to be stored. For the better result and storage capacity data track must be built closely and the width of the tracks is really narrow, and this is the only reliable way to keep the head in perfect position on the data tracks.

Sony’s original and exclusive Servo writer remarkably worked with seamless performance in Sony LTO-1 LTX100G. And perfectly perform in all types of conditions. Sony makes a perfect contribution in developing base film with the use of its patented coating technique through very fine and special smaller and thinner metal particles, LTO-1 tape designed to have 100GB native and 200GB compressed data storage capacity, with excellent 384 data tracks which able to store the perfect volume of data. The Sony coating technique makes the base film smoother and well balanced with 12.65mm width and 609M long.

Sony Backup Tapes Deliver Superior Functionality

The last two generations of AIT Tape (AIT-4 and AIT-5) were introduced in 2005 and 2006, and provided native storage capacities of 200GB and 400GB, respectively, both having maximum data transfer rates of 24MB/s. The fourth and current generation of LTO Tape (LTO-3) began shipping in 2007,  again doubling the native storage capacity to 800GB, and providing a 50%  performance increase to 120MB/s.

New e-business applications, long-term storage requirements and security concerns, a strong push demand data faster, and scalable compression and backup media products.Today's IT environments that require reliable solutions and easy to use, and economic processes and run without human intervention and shorten processing times.

Sony has compiled all of these features in a compelling and fifth-AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) technology, which is simply unparalleled in terms of compactness and performance. Sony Invented the AIT tape solution specifically for the corporate market of small and medium enterprises.

Sony AIT5 has better coordination to serve the demands of the rapidly growing mid-sized organizations and government agencies, and time-critical applications, and small businesses, departments, backup and remote offices. Home foes AIT - 3 is the DLT and LTO tape formats 3. Can have 400GB of uncompressed data reliable and backed quickly to the cartridge and media AIT5. Coordination of AIT - 5 tape delivers superior functionality and cost benefits of each of these competing tape technologies. Noticeable in the actual size of the smallest 67% easier for customers to easily house them in the shelf space significantly less, while the ability to record an increase reduces the number of tapes required to store the backup. So that organizations can deal with storage operations with IT staff to have a small, and thus further increase the return on investment.

Increase the data compression makes it 2.6:1 AIT3 option more cost-effective and attractive to customers with limited budgets. Both LTO ultrium and DLT technologies  advances up to a 2:1 data compression. Maintain the efficiency of 1.04 TB compressed data and to enjoy operational efficiency with high AIT5 tape format. Backward read compatibility to LTO3 drive back two generations, while the engine AIT5 provide reading and writing also on the compatibility with previous generations. So that customers can take advantage AIT5 smoothly previous AIT4 AIT3, tapes, and be confident of superior business value. Citizen of the engines AIT5 Sony (external and internal models) accelerated to 24 MB per second.

Is also based on the criterion of LTO3 tape open, users can use any type of tape cartridge storage flexibility with LTO3 LTO drive compatible. Sony LTO3 cartridges part number LTX400GWW, while the other major brands LTO3 are:

TDK tape ultrium LTO3, D2406 - LTO3
