| Abstract | In 2010, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Project became the first NASA mission to incorporate a public cloud into its daily mission-critical operations. Since then, the operators and scientists have experienced 100% availability on tactical plan saves, searches, and retrieval. MER has also pushed tactical data onto lower cost storage systems in the cloud environments, which continue to deliver cost savings, durability, and reliability. Our architecture, designed for high availability and graceful degradation, has raised the confidence in cloud computing. The next step in MER's journey to realize benefits from cloud computing is to incorporate next generation storage solutions into data backup and retention strategy. The Operations Storage System (OSS) on MER currently contains 21 TB of data, which includes both uplink and downlink data. The data is currently backed up on secondary and tertiary devices internally, with some geographical redundancy by keeping snapshots in Simi Valley, less than a hundred miles away from JPL. Storage solutions offered as cloud services include high availability, geographical redundancy, extensive durability, as well as fine grained access control mechanisms. Through novel encryption techniques, data are uploaded without ever introducing the key into the cloud environment. We discuss our approach to optimize the various parameters, minimum requirements, and the challenges we faced during implementation and deployment. Our current design backs up data on S3 (Simple Storage Service). We evaluate the implications of our design, development costs, and the realized savings for the mission. We share performance and data retention benchmarks, and we conclude with an outlook on applicability of our process and application on other missions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
