2200-02 GST Single AIT3 - 260GB LVD TAPE DRIVE

AIT tape technology has evolved through four generations: AIT-1, AIT-2, AIT-3, and AIT-4 and provides outstanding capacity and performance with a highly stable technology roadmap. AIT cartridges utilize MIC architecture, providing rapid time-to-data and multiple load points for partitioning data.

Native cartridge capacities for AIT-1, AIT-2, AIT-3, and AIT-4 are 35GB, 50GB, 100GB and 200GB (91GB, 130GB, 260GB, 520GB compressed) with speeds of 14GB/hour, 22GB/hour, 43GB/hour, and 86GB/hr (37GB/hour, 56GB/hour, 112GB/hour, and 224GB/hr compressed). Scalability is planned to a 6th generation product with native capacity of 800GB (2 TB compressed) and a speed of 345GB/hour (900GB/hour compressed). A 2.6-to-1 compression ratio is achieved with Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) technology.

Key Benefits

Capacity, Performance, Cost Leader - GST’s internal AIT-1, AIT-2, and AIT-3 drives compare favorably to LTO-1, DAT, SLR and VXA technology for about the same price. GST’s AIT-4 internal drive is nearly half the cost of LTO-2 with comparable speed and capacity.

WORM Enabled – AIT2, AIT3, AIT4 drives are available with Write Once Read Many (WORM) technology. WORM provides tamper-proof data protection with non-rewriteable and non-erasable data storage.

Lower Investment – Attachment features normally required with external tape drives are not needed. Additional features required by external tape devices can include:

1. Input/Output Processor 2. Input/Output Adapter 3. Additional towers

Media Investment Protection – AIT-2, AIT-3, and AIT-4 are backward-read compatible, and forward-read compatible to future generations.

Real-time Operator Information – Our LCD Display Panel continuously displays key tape conditions to help operations personnel monitor the status of the drive and backup operation.

Space Economy – Floor space or desktop area for an external tape drive is eliminated.

Key Features

Internal Packaging – Internal attachment of AIT single drives with a wide variety of servers results in a high degree of integration, eliminating high connection costs and simplifying drive containment.

LCD Display Panel – Multi-function LCD continuously displays drive and backup status.

Compliance Ready – WORM technology supports compliance with new government data storage regulations that apply to the tamper-proof safeguarding of data.

Convenient Drive Interface – RS232 interface for updating firmware and optimizing drive performance.

Service and Support – A variety of support programs provides installation and onsite service; includes GST’s Accelerated Ship Program (GASP) to get replacement units on the scene rapidly.

Warranty – Purchase price includes built-in 3 year warranty.
