HP ensures the highest level of quality with media specifications that far exceed industry standards. HP
has 20 custom-built testing chambers that are in use 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. No other
media supplier carries out such exhaustive qualification of the drive and media as HP. This is because no
media supplier conducts extensive drive based tests on a daily basis and moreover, supports hardware
warranty initiatives in the field with a vested interest in reducing all media-induced hardware issues. In
2002, 170,000 different media tests were performed, accounting for 1.3 million test hours. HP also
conducts tests on multiple batches of media using multiple drives to ensure performance in different
environmental conditions, such as variations of high/low temperature and humidity. Changes in external
conditions, which can easily occur when media is moved from different locations, can have a huge
impact on error rate performance. Increased error rates jeopardizes backup, and backup disruption
jeopardizes business continuity. HP customers are many and varied; this is why HP specifies stringent
durability and reliability metrics that the media must satisfy before it is good enough to bear the HP logo.

AIT or Advanced Intelligent Tape is a proprietary technology developed by SONY. AIT is ideal for
businesses that require high-capacity, high-performance storage media with limited on-site storage
space. Sony introduced AIT into the market place in 1997. AME allowed 8mm technology to expand into
higher capacities and tape length. With the introduction of AME technology, AIT media has been able to
make the capacity jumps to enter into the mid-range and automation space. AIT-1 introduced as a
migration path for DDS users to reach higher capacities and performance. Despite its increased
capacities, AIT does not offer the interchangeability that other tape technologies do and can be
construed as proprietary and cannot compete against the open standard technologies (Metal Partical or
MP based). For example: While AIT and Mammoth share similar technologies and design, they are not
compatible and should be considered proprietary. Mammoth drives will not work with AIT media and
visa-versa. Drive firmware and software prevent this.
