AIT Tape

The AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape ) format is Sony`s latest innovation in fast access high density tape recording technology. AIT forms the basis of Sony`s new SDX series of tape drives and media. The ability to store large amounts of data and retrieve information quickly is critical in today`s applications. Tape storage and retrieval has been revolutionized by Sony`s award-winning Memory in Cassette (MIC architecture). The MIC consists of a memory chip built into the data cartridge which holds the system`s log and other user-definable information. Applications that benefit from MIC`s capabilities include hierarchical storage management, video server, film editing and real-time data acquisition.
