V-Series AIT Tape Automation


Scalable, Cost-effective Tape Storage Solutions

Plasmon V-Series AIT Autoloaders are powerful tape automation solutions, combining robust architecture with the inherent advantages of AIT tape technology. A small footprintwith high storage density, and rapid time-to-data, autoloaders meet the requirements of critical data storage applications. The V15 supports 15 cartridges, one or two drives, and offers 1.5TB native capacity at 43GB/hour throughput per drive. The V30 supports 30 cartridges, one to four drives, and offers 3.0TB native capacity at 43GB to 172GB/hour throughput depending on the number of drives. Both support an optional bar code reader, ethernet connection for remote management, standalone or rack mount installation, and come with a 3-year express exchange warranty.

AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) tape technology ensures the utmost in reliability to meet the rigorous demands of unattended backup and high recall archive environments. In addition, AIT is suited to a wide range of applications, including image/multimedia storage and retrieval, real-time data acquisition, transportable storage, and storage management applications.

AIT-3 provides a throughput of 12 MB/sec (31.2MB/sec with compression**) and a high capacity per cartridge at 100GB (260GB with compression**) in a very compact form factor.

The AIT-3 drive is multi-functional and supports both standard AIT and WORM formats.

The MIC (Memory-In Cassette) chip contains key parameters such as a tape log, search map, and application information that allow flexible multi-point loading and management of the media and its contents. For the user this means fast media load times and high-speed access to customer data.
