Overland's AIT-3 scalable LibraryPro supports up to 15 TB capacity and 200 MB/s throughput, which doubles the product's previous specifications. LibraryPro's scalable architecture is ideal for a vast range of application environments. Smaller configurations of LibraryPro match perfectly for distributed and workgroup applications requiring high performance rackmount or tabletop solutions. When paired with Overland's SanPiper Fibre Channel technology, LibraryPro easily integrates into numerous SAN environments.
"The integration of this new tape drive into LibraryPro has gone extremely smoothly," said Robert Scroop, VP & GM of Overland Data's Storage Resource Business Unit. "Sony's delivery of this next generation drive is a testament to their commitment to aggressively extend the AIT technology roadmap. At Overland, we fully support the Sony roadmap and we are excited to deliver this new library to our customers."
"We are excited to be among the first to experience the AIT-3 drive technology," said Stacy Schwartz-Gardner, director of Technical Service, Integrated Archive Systems. "Overland's AIT-3 version of LibraryPro will double the efficiency of our backup and restore capabilities."
