Greater reliability is offered by the second generation AIT-2 tape storage format. Sony has introduced latest features in the AIT-2 tape cartridge, part-number SDX2-36C. Sony AIT-2 is highly reliable and scalable. Sony SDX2-36C cartridge can hold more volumes of information 36GB (native) than other tape formats. Greater recording capacity, scalability and enhanced output characteristics are offered by the small sized AIT-2 tape. Sony AIT2 tape cartridge saves space and energy, which means decreased operational costs. The combination of Sony’s advanced metal evaporated technique and advanced drive technology in AIT tape format delivers increased media scalability and improved recording density. Proven technology of Sony AIT-2 tape format is well renowned for its exceptional mechanical stability, low energy consumption, space saving capability and exceptional output characteristics.

Highly advantageous, durable and improved technologies have been applied by Sony in AIT2 data tapes which make them more robust and efficient. AIT tape format serves the clients with reliable, fast and economical backup operations. SDX2-36C data cartridge is based on the established technology of AIT-2. Vast media manufacturing experience and technological expertise of Sony has contributed to the unparalleled performance and extraordinary recording densities of AIT-2 data tape format. Sony AIT-2 tape format is more compact, durable and high performance backup solution than other tape technologies of equivalent capacity. Sony AIT-2 tapes save floor space and hold the critical information for longer time span due to their prolonged tape life.

Sony has raised the data density and media durability of SDX2-36C data cartridge that helps to ensures high output frequency during heavy work loads. This increased data density enables the Sony AIT-2 tape to accommodate compressed data having volume of 92GB. Electro-magnetic conversion characteristics of Sony AIT-2 backup tape has been enhanced because of its ultra smooth surface. Sony has also developed a special lubricant that helps to lower down the friction in AIT-2 tape format. Special protective coating system has been applied by Sony that has helped to minimize the wear & tear of both media tape and heads. The WORM capability is also featured in the Sony AIT format that allows data to be added and written without any erasing and over writings. WORM functionality offers highest level of data protection thus securing the vital information from alterations and accidental erasures.

The AIT-2 tape features an internal memory chip which is commonly known as MIC (Memory In Cassette). The AIT tape drives use the internal memory’s information to speed up the tape loading process and data searching as well. In this way the drive raises its performance level and overall efficiency. The MIC chip simplifies the media management and also boosts the data access process in tape library environments in comparison to the traditional barcode techniques. Sony SDX2-36C tape features an intelligently designed tough cartridge shell that ensures protection of the media from any damage resulting from shocks or accidental drops.
