		| Abstract: | 
		The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) relies on a globally distributed
 Archive across 4 continents to disseminate scientific data to the community and
 ensure the safety of the data against disaster. The last year has seen the
 realisation of this design with data flowing from the Atacama desert in Chile
 out to the ALMA Regional Centers, via Santiago. Here we give a high level
 overview of the computers and networks that are in place to support this and of
 the current data volume and capacity as the observatory prepares for it's first
 observing cycle. |
