The Evolution of Infrastructure: Making a Renewed Investment in Preservation at Portico

Digital preservation service Portico recently completed a two-year project to rebuild its preservation infrastructure from the ground up with the support of its publisher and library participants. This initiative helped create a stable, scalable, elastic architecture that will enable Portico to keep pace with the ever-increasing amount of content. It will also allow them to provide preservation for new and complex forms of scholarly publishing. Portico’s Managing Director gives an insight into the infancy of the service, and in the two-year project to rebuild that infrastructure.
