SAIT A New Tape Technology to Meet Tomorrows Storage Demands
Beyond AIT – A New Platform • A “Paradigm Shift” in tape drive design is needed to achieve 1TB by 2006 • Needed to maintain parity with HDD trends • Solution…Leverage AIT Recording Density • If media were longer and wider (eg. 1/2” at 600m) then about 5X capacity could be achievable at constant areal density
Conventional tape trend Low-End Mid-Range Server HDD Capacity Growth
SAIT exceeds HDD capacity Conventional tape trend Low-End Mid-Range Server HDD Capacity Growth
