Hello, If you are looking to be follow the OAIS model, y ou can save money if you do some of the digital preservation yourself by consider ing open-source software paired along with a storage service ( like Amazon Glacier or Arkivum, as suggested below ) . I suggest Artefactual Systems' Archivematica as a manageable open-source ingest and AIP- packaging tool. I wrote my Master's thesis (2015) on digital preservation in the museum context, and I was greatly impressed by NY MoMA's use o f Archivematica, as well as their development of their own digital archive indexing software, also developed with Artefactual Systems, called Binder, which is now also a free, open-source tool available on GitHub.
If you want a more PaaS-type (preservation as a service) tool, I suggest you refer to the Digital POWRR Tool Grid, which was part of an IMLS-funded study to investigate recommended scalable digital preservation solutions for institutions with smaller amounts of data and/or smaller amounts of funds to put towards digital preservation.
