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 - GSTs internal AIT-1, AIT-2, and AIT-3 drives compare favorably to LTO-1, DAT, SLR and VXA technology for about the same price. GSTs 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 GSTs Accelerated Ship Program (GASP) to get replacement units on the scene rapidly. Warranty Purchase price includes built-in 3 year warranty. |
