Sony StorStation LIB-D81 Desktop AIT Autoloader, 3.2TB 3200GB tape auto loader/library

8 slot Desktop Autoloader with up to 3.2TB native capacity in a compact, stylish design With the release of the 5th generation, the Sony AIT format has reached its 10-year anniversary. AIT-5 achieves the original Sony goal to introduce a new generation every 2 years; ensuring AIT is one of the only tape formats in the industry that has delivered against its published roadmap.
Integrate AIT-5 into a Sony LIBD81 autoloader and an incredible 3.2TB capacity is possible in a compact desktop design. With read & write backwards compatibility with AIT-3, AIT-3Ex and AIT-4 generations, AIT-5 also is the ideal drive for the current AIT user with fast growing data storage needs. And through the use of Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) media, AIT-5 also helps facilitate compliance with European data retention regulations too.

Optimise your desk space!
Leveraging the compact form factor of AIT drives and media, the StorStation LIB-D81 is only slightly larger than a standalone tape drive, thereby enabling simple placement on a desktop or even on top of a server. Despite its size the LIBD81 series can hold from 640 GB to 3.2TB of business critical data (native). Fitted with a single drive, the LIBD81 functions as an 8 slot autoloader enabling a full week of daily backups without manual tape changes, thereby saving valuable administration time and resources.
SME Automated backup jobs
Ideal for SME customers requiring automated data protection for more than one server or workstation where single drives cannot offer sufficient capacity and daily tape changes are essential. Automation reduces the risk of server downtime and offers better value for money compared with single drives.
Alternative to DAT Autoloader
Three times the capacity for a similar cost.
Automation upgrade for existing AIT drive user
Customers who are already using AIT single drives, but looking for higher capacity data protection solutions.
