A de-centralised, self-contained and managed storage utility with triple redundancy, the emergence of a DVLT Distributed Virtual Tape Library.

This site assists development of an IETF-ID. For software application development see DIASER - Distributed Internet Archive System for Educational Repositories.

Design philosophy...

Maximise:- Storage capacity, availability of data, data restoration and recovery speed, scalability, modularity, cross-platform deployment, resilience and robustness.
Minimise:- Operating bandwidth overhead, impact of network outages, management overheads, support costs.
Simplify:- Development cycle, deployment, data recovery, operation, integration with existing systems.

Financial gains for any SME are foreseen. The obvious advantage is reduced reliance on tape systems, the fact that the most valuable data is retained even under extreme data loss conditions may reduce insurance premiums, less time spent supporting backups including faster retrieval times and rapid deployment. Designed for in-house deployment to avoid violating copyright laws. For the contract systems administrator or for risky jobs deploy for peace of mind.

As project maturity is reached, to help reduce an organisations carbon footprint.
