The technical expertise of Sony which has been proved in the AIT technology is reflected in the AIT turbo format. AIT technology introduced in 1996 is perfect and ideal for midrange to the high end backup solutions. AIT-turbo has added new options of greater capacity and elevated performance in the AIT family. AME technology has been employed by Sony since the introduction of AIT. The AIT tape media comprises of cobalt that is 100 % pure. Evaporated cobalt is directly applied onto the AIT-turbo tape’s base-film. By using this technique, high coercivity and flux density is achieved in the AIT turbo format. A special lubricant coating and robust protective layer of “diamond like carbon (DLC)” is applied on top of the magnetic layer.

The Sony AIT turbo tape has been developed on this basis of proven technology of AME. Sony AIT turbo tape maintains the reliable features of AIT technology and provides cost efficient solutions. Only the AIT-turbo drive can read and write the tape media of AIT turbo. AIT turbo is a successful and efficient tape solution for the large and midrange backup applications.
