Preservation Server

[Nathan Tallman]

My institution is going to be purchasing a preservation server sometime within the next year. I'd like to solicit advice on specs. I know this is highly dependent on our collection, but I'm looking for some baseline hardware recommendations. We'll be using it to store preservation-copies of electronic files that belong to archival collections. Most of our electronic files are not born-digital, but we are preparing for an influx of born-digital records. 

Any advice is appreciated! Apologies for cross-posting.

Thanks,
