TLS-4000 Tape Library Systems for AIT Tape Drives

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 set the pace in tape technology. AIT-2 is the new leader in the mid-range tape market, storing 50 gigabytes per tape at 6 MB/second. AIT-3 is due to ship soon, doubing capacity & performance. Sony recently announced extensions to the AIT roadmap thru AIT-6, assuring that it will readily keep pace w ith 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.
