"Revolutionizing" Accessibility to State Archived Documents

I don't suppose a lot of people in the tech industry actually go to the state archives, but this entry may be of interest to many of you nonetheless.

I have absolutely no idea how many other states have archives that includes its own pre-statehood period, but our Hawai'i State Archives has archived documents that pre-dates its own statehood by more than 100 years.

Have you, or someone you know, tried to go to our… Continue

Got too excited and found Keith Johnston's contact info and just sent something to him. hahaha Really, I think that what you folks are doing is an incredibly worthwhile project and would be interested in talking through what we might be able to help bring to the table in terms of enhancing the offering while reducing the fixed operational costs needed to support a large data archiving project. We're just coming out of testing with one of the largest data storage, archival, and recovery companies in the world, and have been able to show that our out of the box search technology will not only give them a much more powerful and precise search solution, but that it will reduce the number of search servers needed by 90%. The energy savings alone on this phase one project will be just shy of $1 Million the first year. I'm very very excited about this technology, and motivated to find opportunities back in Hawai'i where we could be of use, and with energy costs being what they are, I have to believe that there are some opportunities somewhere.

Aloha no,

Kimo
