A Modern Digital Media Workflow and Offsite Performance
When Hogarth WorldWide designed their IT infastructure they had quite a few requirements for their archive, some of which were:

The archive should be offsite; but the data must be completely under the control of Hogarth.
Solution: Co-hosting in an offsite data centre.
