    Tip
    titleBrowser Support Note

    DuraCloud currently supports all of the major web browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. As of version 3.7.0, DuraCloud no longer supports Microsoft Internet Explorer. This change is in response to Microsoft's recent end of support announcement for Internet Explorer. This shift allows development effort to be focused on delivering the highest quality user experience for the vast majority of our users. If you are still using Internet Explorer, we recommend you consider moving to one of the supported browsers mentioned above.

Core Services

  • Media StreamerStreaming:
    • Provides streaming capabilities for video and audio files.
  • Bit Integrity Checking:
    • Verifies that content stored in DuraCloud maintains bit-level integrity over time by calculating a checksum value upon content storage and the at frequent intervals to ensure no changes have occurred
  • Duplication:
    • Keeps content in multiple storage providers consistent.

Tools

  • Sync Tool:
    • Provides a utility with both graphical and command line interfaces
  • Duplicate on Change:
    • Provides a simple mechanism for synchronizing your content between two storage providers. A running Duplicate on Change service will notice when a content item or space is added, updated, or deleted in one store and duplicate those changes in another store.
  • Duplicate on Demand:
    • Provides a simple way to duplicate content (and its associated properties) from a space in the primary storage provider to a space in another provider.
  • Image Server:
    • Deploys an instance of the Adore Djatoka web application which provides serving and viewing of JPEG2000 images. Note that in order to view images using the Image Server, the images must be in an OPEN space.
  • Image Transformer:
    • Provides a simple way to convert image files from one format to another.
  • Image Transformer - Bulk:
    • Handles the conversion of large numbers of images files from one format into other.
  • Bit Integrity Checker:
    • Provides the ability to verify that the content held within DuraCloud has maintained its bit integrity.
  • Bit Integrity Checker - Bulk:
    • Provides a simple way to determine checksums (MD5s) for all content items in any particular space by leveraging an Amazon Hadoop cluster. This service is designed for large datasets (+10GB).
  • Bit Integrity Checker - Tools:
    • Provides additional bit integrity checking utilities which can be used to perform specific integrity checking tasks.
  • Tools

    • Upload Tool:
      • Provides a graphical interface for transferring files and folders to DuraCloud.
    • Sync Tool: Provides a command line utility for keeping DuraCloud content synchronized with the local file system.
  • Retrieval Tool:
    • Provides a command line utility for transferring content stored in DuraCloud to the local file system.
    • Chunker Tool:
      • Provides a command line utility for transferring single files to DuraCloud. Files larger than a configurable threshold will be "chunked" (split into multiple files) prior to transfer.
    • Stitcher Tool: Provides a command line utility for retrieving single "chunked" files from DuraCloud. As the file is retrieved, it is "stitched" (combined back into the original file).
