TLS-4000 Series Tape Libraries combined with Advanced
Intelligent Tape (AIT) tape drives provide unsurpassed performance, capacity
and value for all unattended backup requirements. Developed by Sony, AIT has
been adopted by OEMs and integrators worldwide for distributed database backup
and archive, video, and image storage applications .
Twelve TLS-Series models provide scalable capacities from 300 gigabytes to
over 78 terabytes. Advanced design utilizes proven robotic technologies for
extremely reliable operation and years of trouble-free service. The TLS-Series
incorporates small footprints and powerful menu-driven command and control
functions for easy integration and very low cost-per-megabyte.
The TLS-4000 Series is now recognized as an exceptional tape library design.
Designed for years of dependable operation, the latest models use the same
unique leadscrew-based mechanism that established a reputation for outstanding
reliability, and the same advanced servo controls for precise positioning and
flawless media handling.
All TLS-Series tape libraries support barcode scanning for efficient media
control. Filtered, positive air pressure is maintained throughout the
libraries to eliminate airborne contamination for longer tape and head life.
I/O Ports support the lights-out operations, enabling complete application
control of media inventories. Field upgrade kits are available to double the
capacity of several models.
Complimenting the TLS-Series, AIT continues to lead the industry in tape
technology. AIT-2 is now the leader in the mid-range tape market, storing 50
gigabytes per tape at 6 MB/second. AIT-3 is due to ship soon, doubling
capacity and performance. Sony recently announced extensions to the AIT
roadmap through AIT-6, assuring that it will readily keep pace with exploding
storage requirements.
Better by design, TLS + AIT offers enterprise managers the performance,
capacity, and features needed to meet burgeoning storage needs now and for
years to come.
