Requirements • Allow researchers to archive “small” files Up to 2GB Make it a free service so researchers will use it Reduce costs by storing on tape • Reuse existing concepts and applications Allow use in federated context Reduce development and maintenance costs by using available systems • Make sharing of archived data as easy as archiving Archived data is not necessarily open access Let researchers restore their data … and let them share it using a simple URL • Make archived data globally identifiable using PIDs So researchers can reference it elsewhere … and can retrieve it using the PID simpleArchive – Making an Archive Accessible to the User 6 Marius Politze, Florian Claus EUNIS 2017, 08.06.2017

Conclusion & Lessons Learned • simpleArchive is available to researchers at RWTH Aachen since Q2 2016 • Implementation reuses existing systems and APIs gigaMove Backup-Portal OAuth2 Service REST Application Proxy Simple Archive UI • Even for a simple process, policies are needed Application Proxy How long is the data actually stored? Who can restore the data? Can archives be transferred? User Cache Information Can archives be deleted?
