[Ohiodig] Digitization file storage arrangements

[Chatham Ewing]

Janet,


We have a 14 TB server with tape backup used as immediate working space for projects. It's set up as a network share and maintained by ClevNET IT. We use it as an immediate storage place for things we scan, a storage place for things processed through CCS Docworks, and as a local mirror for what we upload into Duracloud/Duraspace  The server was paid for by the Digital Hubs grant, is getting long in the tooth, and is likely due for refresh in the relatively near future.

We use Duraspace/Duracloud for preservation storage.

We use ContentDM for access.

So that we don't have to maintain two separate sets of access metadata, and right now its only for most of our photograph collection, and for some of our map collections, we are placing a partial link from our access copy (ContentDM) to our backend storage -- our public service staff has the additional part of the URL and a login that allows them to access the files.  See the digital file storage field in this record for an example:

https://cdm16014.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p4014coll18/id/1780/rec/2

This linking is an ongoing project for us, and we're moving deliberately to link all of our collections, but it's a resource intensive activity that moves along slowly.


Hope this helps.


BTW did you see that Lyrasis will be merging with Duraspace?

Folks, we are in discussions with our central university IT on storage for our digitization/BD working space on the university's file servers.



I would love it if you could share with me what kind of space/arrangements you might have at your institution.



(I am primarily concerned with working file storage for this question, not preservation storage, but you can tell me about the latter too if you want.)



I can summarize for the List.



Thank you!

janet
