    DuraSpace
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-19) Kimpton, Michele ; Payette, Sandy
    The DSpace Foundation and Fedora Commons are investigating the feasibility and interest of a new service, DuraSpace, to serve academic libraries, universities, and other organizations in providing perpetual access to digital content. DuraSpace can be understood as a Web-based service that makes stored digital content more durable, manageable, accessible, and easier to share. A key design feature of DuraSpace is to leave the basics of pure storage to those who do it best and to overlay storage solutions with additional functionality. The service provides baseline functionality that begins with the ability to replicate and distribute content across multiple cloud providers.
