First SAIT compliance storage solution launched

Breece Hill LLC, a manufacturer of tape autoloaders, libraries and integrated information storage appliances based in Louisville, CO, has launched what it claims is the world’s first SAIT Compliance Autoloader. Integrating XenData¹s Archive Series Software and Sony’s SAIT standard and WORM (Write Once Read Many) tape media with its own 10- and 16-pak tape libraries, Breece Hill’s SAIT Autoloader delivers a true compliance solution in a compact 4u footprint that stores up to 13 TB of non-rewriteable data for the small and medium business market.

“The SAIT Autoloader is ideal for companies required to meet the data authenticity compliance requirements for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Rule 17a-4, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,” said Breece Hill president Phil Pascarelli. “By working with Sony and XenData, we have been able to continue our history of technology excellence and innovation by delivering a true compliance solution that meets the way companies must now archive data.”

Initially, Breece Hill’s offer includes two Autoloaders: the SAIT 10-pak, which stores up to 5 TB of native data with a transfer rate of 30 MB/second, and the AIT 16-pak, which stores 1.6 TB of native data with a transfer rate of 12 MB/second.

The XenData Archive Series Software can simultaneously write data to external RAID and unalterable AIT WORM or SAIT-WORM cartridges within the Autoloader, providing a non-erasable and unalterable record that meets the data authentication and legal compliance needs of most industries including organisations governed by the SEC. The software also includes a utility that allows retrieval of all file versions and deleted files, providing a comprehensive audit trail of the file system.
