      ab: The article discusses data preservation, exploring the issues and trends associated with preserving digital data. The author also examines the manner in which such data can be kept manageable, available, accessible, and secure. Examples of vital information stored digitally include medical records, financial data, and photos. Other topics include cyberinfrastructure (CI) defined as the distributed computer, information, and communication technology in a system and the fact that there is more data being created than there is storage to host it.
