Swiss Federal Archives chooses Tessella’s Safety Deposit Box (SDB) for the long-term management of their digital information
Tessella is proud to announce that the Swiss Federal Archives or Schweizerisches Bundesarchiv (BAR) has accepted Tessella’s Safety Deposit Box (SDB) for the long-term management of their digital information. The project was completed successfully, on time and to budget. The system is now operational and the BAR have joined the growing Tessella SDB user group.
Dr. Krystyna Ohnesorge, BAR’s Head of the Innovation and Preservation Unit (UPI) says, “Tessella’s SDB allows easy and efficient management of ingest, storage and preservation of our digital records. This means that we can be sure that generations to come will be able to learn from these records.”
BAR began addressing the problems of Digital Archiving in 2005 with the development of the ARELDA project: the aim of which is to allow all of the Swiss federal agencies to submit records in a uniform way. After looking at various solutions, BAR selected Tessella’s SDB in 2007. A requirement study and an integration plan were developed in autumn ’07 to allow the system to work with the requirements of ARELDA and their workflows. The system is fully OAIS compliant and contains Tessella’s world leading active preservation model.
