Archiving and preservation for research environments

Consortium 4

Home > Design Phase Award > Consortium 4

The solution proposed by the Consortium lead by RHEA Group addresses business requirements raised by the Buyer Group under strong regulations (Energy and Life Sciences domain) and supports testing and validations of IT infrastructures, applications, services and change control processes. The solution will be implemented in compliance with applicable guidelines and standards for data archiving and preservation. The implemented architecture will be based on open standards and robust and scalable technologies (the baseline), enabling a secure and efficient interaction between data producers, service providers and service consumers.

The architecture components of the solution are the following:

  • Secure Service Portal (Identity Access Management, Access Layer Interface, Validation and Pre-ingestion services);
  • Existing and mature Open Source platforms for data archiving, preservation, reporting and access/discovery (Archivematica/AToM/JasperSoft);
  • Readiness XaaS services;
  • Cloud connect product for integration with proposed robust and scalable managed Hybrid Cloud.
