With storage requirements growing at upwards of 87% annually, organizations today are recognizing that the need to cope with storing, managing and protecting vital data is a deciding factor to achieve operational efficiency and remain competitive.

Alongside increased capacities, businesses need faster access and faster transfer speeds, higher reliability and simpler integration into existing IT infrastructures, with a smaller hardware footprint. Coupled with this, is the demand for a significantly reduced cost of ownership.

Sony recognized these demands and with its continuous research and development engineered the ultimate in high capacity tape storage - S-AIT.

Developed specifically to address the high speed, high volume requirements of backup systems for business critical data applications, the S-AIT drive delivers an incredible 500 GB capacity and is the first tape drive to break through the 1TB barrier (1.3TB compressed) in an industry standard 5.25" form factor.

What's more, the S-AIT drive can store, access and manage data faster than ever before. With an impressive transfer rate of up to 78MB/s (30MB/s uncompressed), valuable time saved can be used to concentrate on other, more important tasks at hand.

Sleek Sony technology, as standard, delivers superior performance for your business.

The package includes:

S-AIT Desktop Drive; Power cable (EU+UK); SCSI terminator; Spare air filter; Quick Start Guide; Device driver and operating instructions (on CD-ROM); Warranty Pack (3 Year, Rapid Replacement Service Program); Dantz Retrospect for Windows Full OEM version (1 server & 2 client licenses).

Protecting Canon's finest quality L-series lenses with a robust, waterproof housing, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars provide unrivaled clarity, and stabilized field scoping performance.

The 10x42L IS WP binoculars are the first from Canon to be engraved with the hallowed red L-series ring: a mark until now reserved for Canon's finest professional photographic lenses; the pinnacle of Canon's heritage in precision optics design and manufacture.

Raising optical performance standards, the binoculars feature 2 Ultra-low Dispersion glass (UD) lens elements on each side. Developed by Canon, these elements are effective in eliminating chromatic aberration - the rainbow-like distortion that affects lesser quality binoculars. The result is super bright, high-contrast, 10x magnification viewing clarity.

To suppress vibrations caused by viewing hand-held, on moving vehicles or boats, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars include Canon's Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer (IS). Tiny gyros detect the slightest movements, while a microprocessor controls a special prism to correct the refraction angle of incoming light.

Designed to survive the toughest outdoor conditions, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars are fully waterproof. The design incorporates a distinctive easy-grip for wet conditions, and a robust rubber coating to withstand all your adventures.

To prevent fogging on internal lens elements caused by the ingress of moisture, all exterior surfaces are treated with a special metallic coating. This works in concert with special O-rings and use of waterproof adhesives on all external contact points to prevent water molecules permeating the outside casing.

All the lens element surfaces are treated with Canon's Super Spectra coatings. These ensure vivid high-contrast images with accurate color balance by eliminating unwanted internal reflections that cause 'ghosting' (secondary images) and 'flare' (low contrast, washed out images). The exceptionally large 4.2mm exit pupil allows a bright field of view in low light conditions.

Every aspect of the 10x42L IS WP binoculars is designed around viewing comfort. A wide 65° angle of view gets plenty of horizon into view, while a 16mm Long Eye Relief minimizes vignetting (or the 'tunnel effect') that can affect prescription glasses wearers. A correction lock prevents unintentional dioptric correction errors, and the extending eyecups can be rotated for customized fitting.

The HP ProLiant BL465c server blade provides enterprise-class features for high performance and reliability without compromising density. It also supports up to two AMD Opteron 2000 Series processors with AMD Virtualization technology to improve performance in a virtual environment.

The new Canon XM2 camcorder has the latest technology and many useful sound and picture adjustments and enhancements to cater for a variety of shooting situations and preferences. Its highly sensitive 3CCD unit achieves 540 lines horizontal resolution and super low light performance. A new Super Pixel Shift provides a wider dynamic range for movies, reducing vertical smear, and gives 1.7 mega-pixel high-resolution digital photos. The camcorder's professional L-Series fluorite lens provides 35mm and broadcast TV quality. It can deliver extremely sharp images and high magnification with less color aberrations.

An Optical Image Stabilizer keeps the image steady with no loss of quality. And video recordings made with the Canon XM2 will sound as good as they look with the "Direction Accurate" microphone giving accurate stereo ambiance and less mechanical background noise. The microphone frequency has three modes to match recording conditions (normal, voice, windscreen). Manual adjustments on the XM2 include buttons for color and light adjustment, such as Color Phase, Color Gain, Camera Sharpness and Setup Level. Other features are Zebra Pattern, to indicate overexposure, Interval Timer, to record at selected times, and Clear Scan, to record a CRT monitor. A Custom Key can be used to assign functions used frequently. The new Canon XM2 digital camcorder is the ideal choice for recording broadcast or web content, making educational videos or registering an event like a wedding.
