We all know back-up and disaster recovery are important concerns; and when your back-up needs were small, standalone tape drives may have done the job. But now your needs have grown, direct attached tape drives no longer meet your capacity, performance, or reliability requirements, and your IT resources are overwhelmed managing all your individual drives and scattered pieces of media. To further challenge you, the government says you now may be required to back-up and archive even more data than ever before.

By consolidating with Sony's StorStation AIT automation solutions, you can make things manageable again. Sony's family of LIB-D81 StorStation AIT autoloaders can be less expensive than even single drives from competitive formats while offering a range of capacities and performance levels to facilitate your first step into automation.
