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.

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).
