Sony AIT-4 Desktop Autoloader 1600GB tape auto loader/library

AIT-4 Desktop Autoloader, 8slots, 1.6TB-4.16TB Sony Electronics is helping small businesses automate their backup processes with a family of convenient Advanced Intelligent Tape™ (AIT) desktop autoloaders. The sleek StorStation‘ autoloaders are the latest in a line of small business storage solutions intended to make regular backup a reality in small offices and corporate departments.
One AIT-2, AIT-3, or AIT-4 drive and eight tape cartridge slots are housed in the new solution (model LIB-D81) to store more than a week’s worth of high-capacity backup without daily manual tape changes. The tapes can be easily loaded and unloaded through the front door, and collectively feature native (uncompressed) capacities up to 800GB, and 2.08TB compressed.
At just eight inches high, the autoloader is only slightly larger than a standalone drive, allowing for simple placement on a desktop or atop a server. It incorporates a user-friendly front panel with a message display and diagnostic lights to make backup easy even for those without IT training.
For easy placement, the new autoloader is very compact, at eight inches high, six inches wide and 13 inches long. It can be simply connected to a server or desktop through an Ultra SCSI port.
