Forty years worth of performances at Europe's most prestigious jazz
festival will soon be stored in a digital archive that will be shared
through with students and in cafs around the world.
The
EPFL, a Swiss technology institute, has partnered with Jazz Montreux
Festival to built a clustered storage array that, when completed, will
have 1.2 petabytes of capacity.
The
object-based online archive will keep 10,000-plus hours of recordings
on disk drives from previous years' shows. They include performances by
Weather Report, The Fourth Way, Nina Simone, Jan Garbarek, and Ella
Fitzgerald and even Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
