Take advantage of PALS expertise to help you create your digital repository!

Hosting
PALS assumes responsibility for the hardware and software needed to ensure the ongoing availability and quality of your digital repository. In addition, PALS provides storage space for all ingested objects and their derivatives, metadata, and indexes. Customers have administrative access via the Islandora web interface, which can be used to configure Islandora and the Drupal interface.

The PALS data center is co-located with the Minnesota State University, Mankato data center. We continuously work to ensure that our servers and the network perform at optimal levels. Processing power, memory and space are allocated based on our specifications and can be adjusted dynamically as needed.

Support Services
As part of our Islandora services, PALS staff will work with you to plan the repository and each collection, determine the appropriate metadata standard and elements to use, and provide support throughout the configuration and ingest phases of the project. Once the repository is operational, PALS will offer ongoing support and consultation services to assist you in using Islandora functionality to its fullest.

Training
In-person and web-based training on the use of Islandora are available to you, both as a new user and as needed on an ongoing basis.

Pricing
Pricing of Islandora services is based on FYE students or patrons, number of collections, and the amount of storage required.
