<div dir="ltr">Greetings,<div><br></div><div>I am researching which cloud storage providers are in use by smaller libraries/archives. We had a major hard drive failure for our archival collections and are looking to see what cloud vendors folks are using to manage off-site data backups. We'd like to know our options outside of the big names in enterprise storage (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).</div><div><br></div><div>Specifically, we are wondering if there are any affordable cloud storage providers specific to the library/archives space. Our ITS department is stretched thin so we'd like options that are being offered by traditional library vendors to take some of the burden off of their shoulders.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm aware of LYRASIS DuraCloud. Are there any others that you've tried and are satisfied with using? Or do you use one of the big three directly without a third party vendor?</div><div><br></div><div>I tried to search the listserv archives but received an error message, so apologies for asking something that might have been discussed previously!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Alli<br clear="all"><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin-bottom:10px;line-height:1"><span style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold">Allison Martel</span> <span style="font-size:small;font-weight:normal">|</span> <span style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold">Digital Technologies Librarian <br></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px">(on-campus </span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px">Wednesdays, </span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px">working remotely otherwise)</span><span style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold"><br></span></p>
