AIT: Advanced Intelligent Tape
The advanced format that grows with demand. The massive growth in data storage and the capacity required to back it up increases astronomically. AIT is intended as a platform capable of meeting that demand, without the future requirement to change backup platform as capacity requirements fluctuate. Data management & manipulation requires quick efficient access, with network backups completed in the shortest possible window. Restoration requires quick seek times, without endlessly spiraling through hours or even days worth of data to find specific files. AIT aims to meet these high demands head on.

LaCie AIT Autoloaders and Libraries
LaCie AIT libraries provide affordable, automated backup and storage for today’s distributed networks and servers. The AIT 15/30 library can be configured with 15 or 30 slots and 1 or 2 LaCie AIT1 or 2 drives. LaCie delivers a barcode reader as standard. To simplify media management, a removable cartridge pack with an integrated dust cover protects tapes throughout media rotations.

Drives can be upgraded easily by simply loosening a set of quater-turn screws and removing the drive mechanism. The library is compatible with all LaCie backup and archive software packages. This simple design is based on integrated picker and uni-body robotic chassis. The intelligent picker accomplishes all robotic motion with only two motors while providing the necessary precision and reliability required for datacentre class backup. The ability to pick and place media with only a few moving parts is the key to the LaCie AIT’s high reliability.
