Storage Area Net Preserves Video Collection
The University of Michigan and Indiana University in Bloomington are using a new videotape preservation system to maintain permanent documentaries on musical and dance traditions from around the world.
The Ethnomusicological Video for Instruction and Analysis (EVIA) Digital Archive project is a joint effort between the two universities, with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to preserve the video recordings of university instructors and make them easily accessible for future teaching and research.
The project uses a high-speed storage infrastructure built around storage area network (SAN) technology from Sanrad Inc. The system uses UM's high-speed network to write 50 Mbps video files directly to a SAN located across the campus. The technology enables encoding the video to take place in real time.
