 The Sony mini library is data written to SAIT WORM media and cannot be altered or erased, meeting requirements for various regulatory mandates. |
Sony Electronics has introduced SAIT mini library technology for small-to-midsized businesses, as well as those working with large databases, video production studios, broadcast applications, medical imaging and e-commerce transactions.
Two models of the SAIT mini library are now available, housing up to two SAIT-1 tape drives with up to 20 high-capacity SAIT cartridges, delivering the industry’s highest storage density for a 5U rack-mountable configuration. The system features 10TB native storage capacity (26TB compressed using 2.6:1 compression) and clocks 60MB/s sustained native transfer rate (with two SAIT drives).
The SAIT mini library comes equipped with Write Once Read Many (WORM) functionality, allowing users to reach compliance with storage-related government regulations. Data written to SAIT WORM media cannot be altered or erased, meeting requirements for various regulatory mandates. Further boosting data security, a password-protected electromagnetic lock and a mechanical key lock are installed on each unit. With this physical protection in place, IT managers can rest-assured that critical backup jobs aren’t being tampered with or manually disrupted.
Sony is offering add-on options, including additional cartridge magazines, as well as mounting kits for rack configurations. An additional SAIT-1 drive can also be integrated to further enhance performance and availability. The system comes with an Ultra SCSI connection, but is also compatible with fibre channel networks through a commercially available SCSI/FC bridge.
