New AIT FamilySony is pleased to offer a new AIT family, AIT Turbo, enhancing both capacity and speed of earlier AIT generations delivering the same highly reliable and industry leading 8mm AIT format and technology. Line-up for Better SolutionsAIT Turbo series offers capacities from 20GB to 40GB native and 52GB to 104GB compressed for effective cost performance. AIT Turbo reflects technical excellence, which Sony has proven with its reliability since AIT was introduced as a high and mid-range solution in 1996. AIT Turbo offers new performance and capacity options to supercharge backup. The Technology for AIT Turbo MediaSince AIT was introduced into the market in 1996, Sony had been employed AME (Advanced Metal Evaporated) tape technology. 100% pure cobalt is evaporated and deposited directly on the base film for high magnetic flux density and coercivity. Above the magnetic layer is the though DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) protective layer and high-performance lubricant coating. With this proven AME technology, Sony has developed new AIT Turbo media for cost effective solutions while keeping reliable AIT characteristics. AIT Turbo media can only be used with an AIT Turbo drive. AIT MigrationAIT is migrating capacity and speed with high reliability for mid to large data class. For small business data protection, Sony offers AIT Turbo based on proven AIT technology.
