Samvera

We deliver hosted repository solutions built on Samvera, supporting both Hyrax and Hyku. These enable institutions to access powerful repository infrastructure without the burden of managing complex technical systems. CoSector offers setup, maintenance, updates, and user support, allowing clients to focus on their content and community engagement. These hosted solutions are ideal for universities, research bodies, and cultural heritage organizations aiming to preserve and share their digital assets effectively and sustainably.
