Short technology cycles, removal of application support and risk of storage media degradation all make it more challenging to maintain long-term usability for your valuable digital assets. The termination of licensing for MP3 and the all but obsolete WordPerfect both highlight the need to ensure your information is constantly available in a currently supported file format.
Preservica enables the active migration of files to newer formats over time and at scale.
This ensures digital information remains useable and readable across multiple format refresh cycles. As technology refresh rates increase, this migration may need to happen multiple times. Preservica's active migration avoids the pitfalls of passive migration solutions that force a migration choice at ingest only. Preservica offers migration at ingest, on access or export, or at any time you choose.
Preservica incorporates standard file format identification and migration tools, such as DROID.
Preservica allows you to automate preservation actions and migration pathways for over 1600 different file formats – including objects embedded in complex container formats such as ZIP, WARC and Microsoft Office. In addition to active preservation, Preservica also performs background integrity health checks to protect your content against loss and corruption.
Preservica has combined all the core requirements for successful long-term digital preservation into a single integrated application, which can be hosted in the cloud or run on premise.
