It looks like a good idea to me, Andrea. What do you think would be a productive way for such "discussions" to play out? The choices occur to me as being: email thread, wiki, conference call, or likely some combination. Going ahead and collecting some points of discussion to post on the wiki seems like a reasonable start. You and Mark have already raised: h2. Preservation Policies # number of copies # bit integrity check frequency # storage hierarchy # ... h2. Emerging Storage Technology # data reduction/de-duplication # device encryption # cloud providers # WORM devices # federated clusters # ... h2. Decision Factors # collection size # budget # development resources # ... h2. ...

I'm interested in both the reasons behind our policies (number of copies to keep, how often to do integrity testing, requirements to include tape, etc.) and opinions/experience on some of the existing and up-and-coming features of modern storage systems (data reduction/de-duplication features, encryption, inclusion of cloud storage, WORM storage, federated clusters, etc.). I'll understand though if the group wants to take a break from storage because we have spent a lot of time on it. > > Thanks, > Andrea > > > Andrea Goethals > Digital Preservation and Repository Services Manager > Harvard Library Office for Information Systems > [log in to unmask] > (617) 495-3724 > > > ############################ > > To unsubscribe from the NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE list: > write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > or click the following link: > http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE&A=1 ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE&A=1
