ULCC would like to share the announcement of its partnership with Arkivum Ltd., providers of large scale, long term, and cost effective digital archiving solutions.
The partnership with Arkivum enables ULCC to offer an integrated, long term digital preservation solution to the academic, heritage and special collections sector - by adding large scale and long term digital archiving capabilities to its existing service portfolio of digital preservation training, consultancy, and repository development and management.
Arkivum offer a very well designed and reliable archival storage solution, addressing many digital preservation system requirements. Full details are on their website: http://arkivum.com/pages/services/#why
ULCC has partnered with Arkivum not only to meet their own needs but also to offer customers shared use of the gateway to Arkivum's systems. This makes it possible to benefit from Arkivum's service to store even only a few TB of digital assets, without incurring the capital cost of procuring the gateway server. (Transfer to a self-hosted Arkivum system at a later date is also possible.)
Initially ULCC will focus on integrating it with their EPrints-based repository service, but access to the service is also available using a range of file system/file transfer options: we'd be happy to discuss your requirements
ULCC is holding a briefing in Senate House, London on Monday, 24th February at 11.30am. Lunch will be provided and you will hear from representatives of Jisc, Higher Education, ULCC and Arkivum about emerging requirements for data management and digital preservation in HE and cultural heritage sector.
