According to: JISCRI finalProgressPost requirements.
In this post you are required to address each one of the below elements, this post along with your final prototype will be evaluated for its readiness to launch to the end user. If selected, we’ll be using this post as the final “advertisement” that will go in an ‘Argos-like catalogue’ of JISC Software Prototypes (a vision of the future to come!). We hope to put this publication on the desk of as many senior managers in UK HE/FE as possible as well as other potential investors (e.g. NGOs and VCs) in the New Year so please write this Final post with that audience in mind.
Description of Prototype:
Proactive archiving… an advanced disk based backup volume management system with triple redundancy for HE and SME. A quick and low-cost way to make an environment more robust and data more accessible by archiving in multiple places. This replication also provides fast retrieval of archived data from all node hosting locations. A Perl installer creates the system. The application provides a decentralised, self-contained and managed storage utility.
