Here at SQS we understand the often urgent demands placed on you and your data storage & recovery systems. With the amount of data most small to corporate businesses utilise in the modern world; backup down-time is becoming increasingly critical and potentially catastrophic to any company or business.

As such we have implemented the infrastructure to despatch an engineer to any site within the UK to evaluate, test and repair your tape backup system. All you need do is call our sale team between the hours of 9-5pm so we can book an engineer to your site at the earliest possible moment.

In most cases the engineer will carry all the relevant spare parts to get your system up and running again by the time he leaves. In some cases it may be required to leave you with one of our many loan units to keep your data flowing while your unit is returned to our base in Reading for further and more extensive work to be carried out.

Whether you are using a single DAT drive or a large LTO library, give us a call or click the contact us button above so we can help resolve your problem.

Sony AIT-3EX Drives

Overview

Once you make a decision to use a tape technology, you need to be sure that your investment will be protected in the future with backwards compatibility of older media in new drives. AIT-3Ex is the perfect upgrade drive for any current AIT user! With backwards compatibility with all of the lower capacity generations of AIT (including the Turbo media1), you can take confidence that your older tapes can be used as needed.

However, if you want to get the maximum benefit from AIT-3Ex, then start using the 150GB media and gain the high 18MB/s performance that the drive can offer. AIT-3Ex has been designed with past, but also future in mind. Not only will today’s AIT-4 drive support the new AIT-3Ex media2 , but also the forthcoming AIT-5 drives too.

As with all Sony StorStation AIT drives the models come with a hp Proliant server installation kit (internal model only), a bundled backup software package and 3 year Rapid Replacement warranty. The drives are equipped with a dust-protective bezel that ensures the reliability in harsh environments and are tested for compatibility with major vendor servers from hp, IBM, Dell and Fujitsu-Siemens.
