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
