A preservation node is a server on the ADPNet private LOCKSS network, which stores archival copies of the digital content preserved on the network. Preservation nodes are administered by ADPNet Host members.
Each preservation node serves as a LOCKSS Cache, collecting and safeguarding Archival Units from participating institutions. The cache is a computer whose sole purpose in life is to run a LOCKSS Daemon to continually collect content from specific places, store it, and check it against the copies preserved by the other LOCKSS caches in its network to insure that the content stored is complete and uncorrupted.
