UW, along with Rutgers University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, is designing and implementing the MIC portal for the project sponsors: the Association of Moving Image Archivists and the Library of Congress. When complete, the portal will be able to provide educators, researchers, exhibitors and the general public with a window into the world's vast moving-image collections. UW needed to develop and deploy a directory database that would be designed to be scalable, reliable, flexible and consistent through changes. For its part, UW has been responsible for designing and implementing the archive directory database, which directs users to the moving images stored by content owners. The need for a consistent environment enabled by open systems, part of the IBM vision for e-business on demand, made IBM eServer pSeries servers running Linux the ideal choice.
