Summary:

The EaaSI project encompasses the design, development, and implementation of scalable infrastructure and services for software emulation, including distributed management, description, sharing, and access.

Format types:

It is built on open source platforms which can run proprietary formats (OpenOffice for Microsoft Office), GIMP (vs. Photoshop), SciLab, FreeMat, GNU Octave (vs. MATLAB), Scribus (vs. InDesign), FreeCAD, QCAD (vs. AutoCAD). A list of supported environments can be found here: https://eaasi-sandbox.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/eaasi/#/portal/environments.

Third-party content support:

See above.

Features:

Emulated CD-ROM environment sharing service, virtual reading rooms service, scientific software portal, API to automatically render objects in original software via emulation.

Costs:

Currently free to test with more grants planned in future. Information about becoming a ‘node host’ is available on inquiry (limited to the US only due to copyright). Membership of the Software Preservation Network is $5,000 per year.
