[Pasig-discuss] Preservation Storage suppliers

[Antonio Guillermo Martinez (LIBNOVA)]

Dear Aslam,



We currently provide a digital preservation-specific Operating System
(LIBDATAos), on top of a high density, low cost, high robustness hardware.



The main benefits we see for our customers are:



   - Preservation-specific features (see the attached brochure for
   details), but:
      - Hashing could be done directly by the storage appliance using an
      API (20x faster hashing performance over traditional
server-based approach)
      - There are WORM-protected areas. System-level protection for
      modification or deletion with some rules.
      - Including DarkSync mode, with advanced file replication, without
      propagating deletions and overwrites directly and the ability to generate
      system-wide manifests of storage contents.
   - Highly secure with embedded bit rot protection, standard ZFS
   filesystem (extended Z1, Z2 or Z3 data protection of every 12 disks).
   Storage mountable using standard CIFS (including SMB v3) and NFS, among
   other protocols.
   - High density, with 2PB of raw capacity in a 42U rack, or 216TB for
   each 4U appliance.
   - Low cost, with very low cost of acquisition and operation.
   - NBD support nearly in every State.
   - Very easy to manage. Everything is done using a management web
   interface.



When you use the LIBDATA storage combined with the LIBSAFE Integrated
Digital Preservation Repository software, you also get a lot of extended
benefits.



Best regards, AG.

Hi All,



Since it’s quite here I’ve been able to review the conference notes of
PASIG17 and there was a presentation from someone ( prob from the US )
regarding preservation storage.



She inferred in her talk that she has already had several chats with some
suppliers but was collating more.



We have a storage solution, but I really want to understand what is meant
by “Preservation Storage” and how does that differentiate to normal
archival storage or data where is it tiered off to an archive.



There is a criteria “Preservation Storage Criteria, Version 2” which I’ve
been reviewing via the presentation “Acid-free AIPS: Digital preservation
storage criteria” by Sibyl Schaefer.



Any pointers to suppliers whether you use them or not would be greatly
received.
