DSpace Repository Services for Universities and Research Institutions
MQS IT Solutions supports institutions that use DSpace to publish, preserve and manage scholarly or organizational digital content. We focus on production deployment, repository configuration, migration, upgrades, metadata, infrastructure and ongoing support.
What DSpace digital repository services solves
A repository needs more than application installation. Storage, database configuration, search, metadata, permissions, backup, security and upgrade planning all affect long-term reliability and discoverability.
01 · Production deployment
Prepare the application stack, database, storage, security and operational configuration for a stable repository.
02 · Migration and upgrades
Plan and execute migrations or version upgrades with attention to data integrity, compatibility and rollback planning.
03 · Metadata and collections
Configure collections, metadata fields and repository structure around institutional requirements.
04 · Search and discoverability
Tune indexing and repository configuration so users can find and access published material effectively.
05 · Backup and security
Protect repository data with sensible backup, access control, patching and operational security practices.
06 · Technical support
Provide troubleshooting, maintenance, configuration changes and lifecycle support for the repository environment.

Deploy or upgrade the environment, migrate content and validate collections, users, indexing and access.
4. Operate
Provide maintenance, troubleshooting, upgrades and technical support after go-live.
