Government Response

This RFI has been extended to close at 2:00 PM (ET) on Friday, August 30, 2024.

2 How these streams would be archived

These streams are currently archived temporarily in a local Media Asset Management (MAM) system and subsequently sent to both LOC and NARA as digital files. For purposes of VOD, we’re thinking we’d have the current and previous Congress available for viewing, while LOC and NARA hold files for the long-term, official archive. Their systems are separate from ours and they act as autonomous entities.

3 Is there a need for Archiving to the LIC National Archives?

Archival functionality to LOC & NARA is not necessarily required, since theoretically, we’ll have a system in place already; however, we’d be open to hearing potential capabilities.

Once archived, will there be a need to restore VOD files from the National archive or does the government preferred VOD access from a near line archive?

The VOD would need to be outside the NARA and LOC infrastructures. That could mean local/nearline or potential cloud, as long as the House retains total proprietary ownership and control of content.

What file format does the Government prefer for deep archive/long term storage?

Ideally, for long-term archival storage, we’d be able to provide the highest quality file possible.
