Architecture of The Internet Archive [2008]
- jacquesm 14y agoThis is too old to be very useful. Here is another old link about their infrastructure: http://archive.org/web/hardware.php http://archive.org/web/hardware.php Since then they've gone through several iterations of improvements on their infrastructure, drives have gotten much larger and the object they're trying to archive has grown enormously as well. Funding drive thread from a short while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4901148 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4901148 An update on their current infrastructure might get a lot of eyeballs in time for their 31st of Dec. deadline with respect to the 3:1 matching.
- chuhnk 14y agoI thought there architecture was pretty interesting for 2008 and the amount of data trying to be indexed/stored. It has some pretty traditional concepts that seem to work well along with a few cool tweeks like udp broadcast for object discovery.
