Amazon has introduced a cloud based dark archive service, called Amazon Glacier. Let's leave behind the irony that all the glaciers are melting and focus on the product. The trend in libraries has been towards hosted solutions instead of maintaining your own servers, and this is a logical progression. This could serve well as the offsite backup for dark archives that many institutions already have, something which most places haven't been able to implement yet.
