Digital Preservation (DigiSafe)

Digital Preservation (DigiSafe) is a cloud-based service for long-term secure storage of archives and other infrequently accessed material. Subscribing units get access to a storage area on the LabDrive platform (provided by Libnova) which they can set up and use to fit their needs. Functionality includes uploading, viewing, and managing stored material. Access is for registered users only. 

DigiSafe offers a secure system for long-term preservation of digital objects that is easy to use, flexible, and affordable. The main features of the service are: 

• Short or long-term archiving (10+ years) 
• Secure lifecycle from upload to long-term storage  
• Simple upload/download facility (‘drag-and-drop’) as well as other methods for secure transfer 
• Easy access to archived files, with built-in viewers for exploring material directly on the platform 
• Granular access permission settings 
• Simple workflows for non-archival specialists as well as advanced functions for professional archival use 
• Scalable and flexible to fit the needs of different departments 

There is an annual subscription charge which includes the use of the platform for your unit and 1 TB of storage. More storage space can be allocated either from the start or as and when needed. See details of the service charges.
