UCSD (University of California at San Diego) has developed a set of mods to DSpace to (1) allow the use of SRB for bitstream storage, and (2) allow the registration of bitstreams into DSpace. The two new capabilities are described below.
SRB FAQs
Q: What is SRB?
A: Storage Resource Broker is a product of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). In short, SRB is a robust, sophisticated storage manager that offers essentially unlimited storage and straightforward means to replicate (in simple terms, backup) the content on other local or remote storage resources.

Registration FAQs
Q: What is Registration?
A: Registration is an alternate means of incorporating items, their metadata, and their bitstreams into DSpace by taking advantage of the bitstreams already being in accessible computer storage. An example might be that there is a repository for existing digital assets. Rather than using the normal interactive ingest process or the batch import to furnish DSpace the metadata and to upload bitstreams, Registration provides DSpace the metadata and the location of the bitstreams. DSpace uses a variation of the import tool to accomplish Registration.
