The Persistent Archive Testbed and National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) research prototype persistent archive are
examples of preservation environments. Both projects are using
data grids to implement data management infrastructure that can
manage technology evolution. Data grids are software systems that
provide persistent names to digital entities, manage data that are
distributed across multiple types of storage systems, and provide support
for preservation metadata. A persistent archive federates multiple
data grids to provide the fault tolerance and disaster recovery
mechanisms essential for long-term preservation. The capabilities
of the prototype persistent archives will be presented, along with
examples of how the capabilities are used to support the preservation
of email, Web crawls, office products, image collections, and
electronic records. (from the article)
