Tallennuspaikka

Tallennuspaikka is a Finnish term meaning a location where data, media, or material is stored or saved. It can refer to physical storage locations such as data centers, shelves, hard disks, optical media, or magnetic tapes, as well as to logical storage locations such as folders, directories, databases, or cloud storage buckets. The concept appears in information management, information technology, and archival contexts.

In information technology, tallennuspaikka describes where a file or dataset resides within a system. It is typically represented by a file path, a URL, or a storage manifest and is essential for data retrieval, backup, access control, and life-cycle management. In cloud and enterprise environments, tallennuspaikka may also indicate the storage region or container (for example, a bucket in object storage), affecting latency, cost, and compliance requirements.

In archival science and records management, tallennuspaikka denotes the repository or designated storage facility for records, including digital repositories and physical archives. It is a component of metadata used to document provenance, authenticity, and access restrictions, and it supports preservation planning and regulatory compliance.

Overall, tallennuspaikka serves as a fundamental concept in organizing, accessing, and governing both digital and physical assets. See also storage location, data location, repository, metadata, data center.
