Infrastructure Layer. The SHAMAN project developed an archival infrastructure that follows the OAIS reference model and uses the iRODS11 data grid as storage substrate. The work presented in previous subsections relies on this infrastructure to address the digital preservation risks related to media faults, process and infrastructure vulnerabilities. However, the domain addressed by this ISP has special characteristics concerning the issues related to the volume of data and its imminent deluge. Data grids in general offer the particularity of having, among other desired characteristics, a replication feature. Moreover, the fact that grids belonging to different institutions can engage in federations with other grids, while retaining full administrative control of their domains can be a useful feature in preservation scenarios, since additional storage space is obtained this way. This would allow a preservation system to take advantage of “borrowed” resources belonging to another administrative domain. The iRODS data grid system supports both replication features and the creation of federations. However, it requires customization in order to take advantage of these features, namely through the micro-service mechanism. In addition to this, the federation feature of iRODS only allows a limited control of the resources and data of remote federated grids, due to each grid having its own administrative domain. For instance, access to data in a remote grid is possible for an authenticated user, but writing new data or updating existing data is a limited feature, requiring some tweaking. See [12] for more details on the composition of rules and micro-services. This allows taking advantage of two types of scenarios: (i) grids exclusive for preservation, which comprise machines dedicated to running the data grid exclusively for digital preservation, which are likely to be under administration of the data owner; and (ii) grids extended for preservation, in which existing grid clusters, initially created for data processing, can be federated through the installation of an iRODS instance and extended for preservation. Their spare disc space, CPU, and bandwidth can be used to store data according to the preservation requirements. We can consider that we have two kinds of abstract actors: a Business Administrator, which is responsible for the creation and enforcement of replication rules and might not have strong technical skills, and a System Administrator, which is responsible for the admin...

  • Infrastructure Infrastructure serves as the foundation and building blocks of an integrated IT solution. It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration). Infrastructure components of an integrated IT solution can be categorized as follows:
