title: CLOUD ATLAS 
creators: Nicholas Taylor Roslynn Ross Jefferson Bailey Andrea Goethals
abstract: Cloud services have become the increasingly dominant paradigm for many other types of IT-based services; why not for digital preservation? Cloud services are by now a familiar, though not mature, part of the digital preservation landscape. It is worth considering further how commercial cloud services are currently or might prospectively be used for digital preservation, as well as the implications for memory institutions, individually and collectively, if digital preservation shifts primarily in that direction. This panel will offer contrasting institutional perspectives on the potential or the perils of the cloud for digital preservation, featuring case studies on how memory institutions can leverage the cloud in deliberate and mission-supporting ways, and how some are working to build alternative, community-based infrastructures.
