UK-based digital archiving provider Arkivum is one of three providers selected for a €4.8m second prototyping phase of the European multinational Archiver project, which aims to provide petabyte-scale data archiving and preservation for its scientific partners.
The project is led by CERN – home of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva – and also comprises DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron), EMBL-EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute) and PIC (Port d’Informació Científic).
