Arkivum/100 100% data integrity guaranteed digital data archiving. For IT and Data Managers who need to meet research data management funding and sharing objectives, Arkivum/100 delivers a 100% guaranteed, long-term digital data archiving service that is cost effective, centrally managed and that integrates into existing data management and storage front-end systems. Cost-effective and easy to procure Scalable from TB to PB Arkivum/100™ is an all-inclusive, cloud based, managed service that delivers a costeffective alternative to existing spinning disc solutions for large-scale data archiving requirements. It is straightforward to deploy and integrates with institutional repository applications such as figshare, DSpace, EPrints and Archivematica. Being cloud-based, Arkivum /100 delivers large volume archiving right out of the box - with the option to easily increase capacity as demand grows. How does it work? The pricing and services contract for Arkivum/100 has been standardised and agreed up front with Janet and as Arkivum is the sole supplier on the Janet framework (which was tendered according to Public Sector Procurement Regulations), there is no need for any competitive tendering process. Secure and easy to deploy Arkivum/100 is based on the principle that at least three copies of your data are needed for 100% certainty that data is safe. This is the basis of our 100% data integrity guarantee. Using replication and active integrity checking processes, every one of your files is copied at least three times. Two copies are held online in geographically separated data centres and the third copy is held offline in a third-party escrow service. Access to Arkivum/100 is via a virtual or physical gateway and the entire installation process can be competed in less than three weeks from order date - and in only three days for a virtual gateway. You just copy your files and data sets into Arkivum/100 using the exosed filesystem interface. Arkivum/100 encrypts and copies the files out to our Tier-3 data centres and then copies the encrypted file to the 3rd party escrow provider. All-inclusive and fully managed Arkivum/100 provides everything needed to deploy a scalable and large-scale data archiving service within your institution. Using either an OpEx or CapEx model, all the costs associated with Arkivum/100 are known up front and, other than gateway rack space, there are no additional resources (physical infrastructure, hardware, software, utilities or people) required to deploy Arkivum/100.

Arkivum/100 is ideal for when you need to provision scalable, large volumes of cost effective archive storage, and when data integrity and longevity are of paramount importance - when you have to have the 100% data integrity guarantees provided by Arkivum/100. And as Arkivum/100 can be deployed alongside Arkivum/1+1, it is possible to provide different storage options for data that has a wide range of retention periods and long-term assurance requirements.
