\"DuraCloud<\/a><\/p>\n

The Weinberg Memorial Library’s got a brand new cloud – and unlike Mick Jagger’s<\/a>, on ours,\u00a0not even two terabytes are a crowd.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our new partnership with DuraCloud<\/a>, the master files from our digital collections<\/a>\u00a0are now being preserved<\/a> in a more robust repository, where we can monitor the health of our bitstreams, discover and repair any corruption or damage, and automatically back everything up offsite\u00a0in Amazon S3<\/a> and Amazon Glacier<\/a> cloud storage.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty important step up for us. Since our beginnings in 2008<\/a>,\u00a0our digital collections<\/a> have expanded from 0 to 1.75 terabytes<\/strong> (that’s about 1,792 gigabytes!), with no signs of stopping anytime soon. At that scale, it was getting difficult for us to manage our own local and remote backups, and we were quickly running out of local storage space. The move to DuraCloud not only smooths out our workflow, it also gives us plenty of room to grow for the future.<\/p>\n

As an added bonus, thanks to interoperability between DuraCloud and our Archive-It web archiving service<\/a>, all of the web content<\/a> that we capture\u00a0for preservation from University-related sites will be automatically backed up in DuraCloud, too.<\/p>\n

All of these changes are on the back end, so users won’t\u00a0notice any difference – you can still search and browse our digital collections at www.scranton.edu\/library\/digitalcollections<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
