Quick description of APTrust: Provides simple, collaboratively designed and built preservation environment (bit-level with fixity checking) for the digital scholarly and cultural record (NOW) Will provide collaboratively developed services for that content (FUTURE), which may include: access format migration emulation others TBD Currently uses Amazon Web Services (as back-end platform only)

Three content copies in East Coast data center (three separate availability zones) S3 service (preservation) for metadata and events Files go to S3 preservation bucket. Metadata and PREMIS events go to Fedora. We delete the file from the receiving bucket.

Three content copies in West Coast data center (three separate availability zones) + Fedora copy APTrust copies them to Glacier in Oregon.

Money Sustaining Members pay $20,000 per year in dues Engage in governance, strategic direction-setting, development, etc. Get allocation of 10 TB of content (with replication, total of 60 TB) University of Virginia provides $400,000 per year toward staffing costs Institution wishes to deposit more than 10 TB of content? Pass-through of incremental costs in 5 TB blocks of content previous estimate is $4,250/5 TB/yr, but likely to drop by at least $1,000 if costs “at scale” continue on current trend Approximately $500,000 cash reserve Serves as DPN ingest/replicating node (full cost-recovery from DPN) Current volume (as of October 19) 52,000 content objects 16 TB (most of which has been ingested in the past month) Two institutions anticipate exceeding initial allocation within a month More preparing deposits “at scale”

Future Much more volume in deposits Develop collaborations for additional services Develop sophisticated reporting for depositors Services for non-members Challenges Drive costs downward to encourage preservation Technical architecture enables interchangeable back-end platforms Balance between importance of Trusted Digital Repository certification cost and frequency of TDR audit increased assurance through encryption at rest increased risk through encryption at rest

Content Value Pyramid

Virginia & Oregon data centers; future technical diversity (planned) Characteristic APTrust DPN Time Frame Year-to-Year 20 years Diversification Virginia & Oregon data centers; future technical diversity (planned) At least three dispersed node data centers; multiple node-specific technologies Content Disposition Controlled by depositing institution Provides possibility for DPN to “brighten” content in future
