[Pasig-discuss] Arguments for keeping an onsite copy of digitally preserved/stored digital content?

[Mark Evans]

Quick comment on Nick' s comment about capex v opex. Many of the clients we work with, especially in the commercial sector find it easier to get budget approval for opex, hence subscription and cloud storage is a route they are increasingly turning to. However they still see the value and importance of a local copy, and a hybrid approach for storage is a popular solution.

Another aspect is institutional preference for capex vs. opex. For us, it can be easier to fund storage needs, at least for some of our copies, through capex purchases of local storage systems.

Gail,

Many of our customers choose to use our Cloud Edition to have their primary day-to-day copy in the cloud, but use an SFTP storage adapter to write one copy of all the objects and associated metadata (description, structure, preservation, audit trail) back home. This can combine the best of both worlds, the flexibility and value for money of a cloud hosted solution with a complete copy at a location of your choice.

Hi Gail,
I also tend to lean towards one onsite copy.  Many cloud vendors are simply reselling Amazon services.  As such, you may not really have appropriate diversity for commercially based threats if you have cloud copies only.  If Amazon goes down, much of “the cloud” goes down, regardless of who you bought it from.
Best,
Michelle

Experts, please share your thoughts.

Are your institutions ready to "trust" the cloud for all copies of data, or is there still an argument for an onsite copy? I usually lean to keeping one onsite copy, but am I stuck in an old paradigm? From earlier PASIG thread (started by Tim) it's clear other institutions are keeping at least one copy on site.

But how do you defend this decision?
