HP AIT Storage Media

Introduction

HP AIT storage media are ideal for departmental and workgroup backups where capacity, performance and cost are critical. HP AIT offers compressed capacities from 70GB to 200GB with built in MIC technology giving faster file access and higher reliability. AIT media with Advanced Intelligent Tape technology offers fast data access and a low maintenance solution for AIT tape drive customers. Optimum compatibility with all current HP AIT and pre-merger Compaq AIT drives, autoloaders and libraries. It is 27% faster data access with built-in memory offers greater data integrity. AIT drives have self-cleaning heads to prevent an abundance of debris build-up. For extra protection, HP AIT cleaning cartridges are good for up to 70 cleans per cartridge.

Key Features & Benefits
MIC-Memory in Cassette is a 64k memory chip embedded into the cartridge that allows for direct MIC connection to AIT drives on-board processors to ensure quick media load, faster access to user files, multiple on-tape load and unload points and historical data on the actual media. Access-with MIC technology, files can be accessed in as little as 27 seconds-a 50% Faster Data Access improvement over other technologies. Integrity-with MIC technology, AIT media provides a line of insight to users as data is Data Integrity maintained directly with the media but separated from the tape itself. Cycles-low and controlled tape tension and reduced pressure with AIT's speciallyLonger Life Cycles designed recording head affords longer life cycles. 1/3rd less tension vs other tape technologies.

Product Highlights

Proven Reliability

HP ensures the highest level of quality with media specifications that far exceed industry standards. HP has 20 custom-built testing chambers that are in use 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. No other media supplier carries out such exhaustive qualification of the drive and media as HP. This is because no media supplier conducts extensive drive based tests on a daily basis and moreover, supports hardware warranty initiatives in the field with a vested interest in reducing all media-induced hardware issues. In 2002, 170,000 different media tests were performed, accounting for 1.3 million test hours. HP also conducts tests on multiple batches of media using multiple drives to ensure performance in different environmental conditions, such as variations of high/low temperature and humidity. Changes in external conditions, which can easily occur when media is moved from different locations, can have a huge impact on error rate performance. Increased error rates jeopardizes backup, and backup disruption jeopardizes business continuity. HP customers are many and varied; this is why HP specifies stringent durability and reliability metrics that the media must satisfy before it is good enough to bear the HP logo.

AIT Technology

AIT or Advanced Intelligent Tape is a proprietary technology developed by SONY. AIT is ideal for businesses that require high-capacity, high-performance storage media with limited on-site storage space. Sony introduced AIT into the market place in 1997. AME allowed 8mm technology to expand into higher capacities and tape length. With the introduction of AME technology, AIT media has been able to make the capacity jumps to enter into the mid-range and automation space. AIT-1 introduced as a migration path for DDS users to reach higher capacities and performance. Despite its increased capacities, AIT does not offer the interchangeability that other tape technologies do and can be construed as proprietary and cannot compete against the open standard technologies (Metal Partical or MP based). For example: While AIT and Mammoth share similar technologies and design, they are not compatible and should be considered proprietary. Mammoth drives will not work with AIT media and visa-versa. Drive firmware and software prevent this.

Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) Technology (continued)
AIT drive employs a helical scan recording style in which data tracks are written at an angle relative to the edge of the tape. This provides higher density recording, enabling Compaq customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape. Qualified with HPs Data Protection Suite for Tape Utilities Complete set of Data Protection Tools focused on simplifying the process of configuring, implementing, and maintaining a data protection strategy. Includes software applications such as Tape Storage Management Console and Insight Manager, as well as product information tools including technology White Papers, Service Advisories, and the Storage Products CD. For information on the Data Protection Software Suite, please check the "Related Options" section of this QuickSpec or visit the website at: http://www.compaq.com/products/sanworks/dataprotectsoft/index.html. Memory-In-Cassette (MIC) AIT technology features Memory-In-Cassette (MIC), a 16-Kb memory chip built into the data cassette which speeds access to your data. The MIC chip provides sophisticated data access capability that allows users to load and unload the tape at the mid-point, which helps in locating files in seconds. Compatibility and Integration Testing HPs SSL2020 ensures the customer of full compatibility with HPs ProLiant servers, AlphaServers and controllers. HP thoroughly tests products with leading software and operating systems, including VERITAS Backup Exec, CA ARCserve and Dantz Retrospect.
