AIT-3

The third generation in AIT technology, the CY-8103 tape lives up to its legacy of truly outstanding performance, with full read and write compatibility with the previous generations` 25GB, 35GB, 36GB and 50GB tapes. With 100-300GB capacity and 12-36MB/s speed, the CY-8103 brings all the convenience and features of AIT to the enterprise class of backup solutions. Superior performance is only half the story with the CY-8103. The tape subsystem is loaded with standard features that no other technology can match.

The CY-8103 utilizes Advanced Metal Evaporative media, which incorporates pure cobalt metallization with a durable "diamond-like" carbon coating which decreases error rates and increases media uses up to 30,000. The CY-8103 also features a built-in head cleaner, which keeps the tape path free of contaminants and eliminates the time and expense associated with the use of regular head cleaning tapes. The innovative Memory-In-Cassette feature speeds access to data for fast, easy file restore. Exceptional reliability has earned AIT technology the highest ratings in customer satisfaction. With a MTBF of over 400,000 hours, unsurpassed data integrity with a bit error rate of less than 1 in 1017 , and full read after write ECC, the CY-8103 is a solid solution with excellent dependability.
