All
I know this is an old thread but wondered if anyone had an update on experience using MS Azure for - in particular - research data storage. Also how it compares to the service Arkivum offers.
Many thanks
Anna

Hi,
we're in the process of building a dspace based repository with storsimple (Microsoft's quasi HFS with an azure backend) to hold open access material, the idea being that less frequently accessed material will end up on azure while the popular stuff will be local.
We'll be writing this up in due course but happy to talk about our experience

It's not a direct comparison, but I know that the recently completed
SCAPE project made considerable use of Azure to support digital preservation
of a wide range of complex material. SCAPE was an FP7 project examining
the challenges of reliable digital preservation at scale.
