Advanced Intelligent Tape is a successful, reliable and an established standard in the industry of backup storage medium. Various advanced features are added to the AIT tape format including ALDC compression, MIC chip, super head-cleaner and AME media. AIT is 3.5 inch high capacity and robust tape storage medium.

Sony developed a highly durable and robust media formulation called the AME (advanced metal evaporated) media which is used in AIT format. Metal particle (MP) media is used in other tape technologies. Binder material and the additives in the MP media can create problem of head contamination. Magnetic layer of the advanced metal evaporated media is composed of pure cobalt. Afterwards this magnetic layer is then sealed with a durable lubricant and DLC (diamond like carbon) coating. This coating helps in protecting the magnetic layer. Therefore as a result the AIT tape format serves its customers with greater density recording. AIT cartage can record more data. Therefore, lesser floor space will be required for storing the AIT tape cartridges. So an operating environment is formed that is virtually free from contaminations.

The recording density of AIT tape cartridge is very high. Gentle media conduct is used in the AIT (advanced intelligent tape) format that lowers the tape tension. Therefore the AIT media life enhances. The AIT tape architecture and design offers outstanding efficient results. The helical scan system further elevates durability of AIT tape. In other tape technologies such as linear serpentine, the media is moved back and forth, this process is repeated hundreds of times. The AIT tape format by the help of helical scan uses only one pitch that reaches from one end to the other. The reliability specification of AIT-1 and AIT-2 tape drives is 300,000 hours.

The HP AIT-1 tape Q1997A can hold 90 gigabytes of compressed information while its native recording capacity is 35GB. The native speed of data transfer is 4 MB/s. The users of DDS tape technology have an excellent opportunity to migrate that is provided by the HP AIT 1 tape format. HP AIT1 Q1997A provides greater capacity and speed to its customers. The investments of the users are also protected as the AIT tape products are backward compatible with their prior generations.

HP AIT 2 tape Q1998A is also based on the 3.5 inches form factor. The features of HP AIT-2 tape format are augmented through itinerary coding, media formulation and MIC (memory in cassette). AIT 2 tape technology provides more benefits to its users as it is backward-compatible with the first generation AIT-1 tape format. Its compressed transfer speed is 15 MB/second. 50 gigabytes of native information can be stored in a single HP AIT-2 Q1998A tape cartridge. The AIT2 cartridge can also record 130 GB of compressed data.

Tape4backup dot com is offering HP and IBM AIT tapes with lifetime warranty at cheapest prices. HP AIT-2 tape media is the smartest choice for the mid-range applications. AIT 2 tape media format is perfect for cartridge automation. Its unmatchable performance has proved that it has the latest technologies and capability to perform efficiently under stress and high duty cycle.
