Building Preservation Environments with Data Grid Technology

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Preservation environments for digital records are successful when they can separate the digital record from any dependence on the original creating infrastructure. Data grid technology, which supports the management of records that are located on multiple storage systems, provides the software needed for infrastructure independence. This article provides a description of how data grid technology can be used to support preservation processes and of existing preservation environments that are based upon data grids.
