EMC Centera Storage, new and used
Vibrant Technologies buys and sells new, used and refurbished EMC Centera
hardware at deep discounts off the manufacturer's list price.
EMC Centera is the world's first content addressed storage (CAS) solution
specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of "fixed content" -
unchanging digital assets retained for active reference and long-term value.
EMC Centera provides online access with assured content authenticity and petabyte
scalability for a wide range of fixed content including X-rays, electronic
documents, e-mail archives, check images, and CAD/CAM designs.
The first magnetic disk-based WORM device, EMC Centera facilitates compliance
with the most stringent regulatory requirements. It is the optimum solution for
fixed content, providing functionality not available in tape, optical, or
traditional disk solutions - at a lower total cost of ownership.
An integrated hardware and software system, EMC Centera supports Windows NT,
UNIX, and z/OS mainframe platforms. It delivers:
- Simple management
With EMC Centera, your applications no longer have to track the physical location of stored information. Instead, EMC Centera creates a unique identifier, based on the attributes of the content, which applications can use for retrieval.
- Assured authenticity, efficient replication
To assure content integrity and authenticity, EMC Centera gives each stored object a unique content address, derived from the content itself. No duplicates of the same content are ever stored. And you can choose the data protection option that's best for your deployment: content protection mirroring or, for up to 25 percent more usable capacity, EMC Centera's new content protection parity.
- Complete solutions
EMC Centera is integrated into many leading applications across a variety of industries by EMC's Centera Partners.
- Scalability without reconfiguration
EMC Centera's architecture is based on redundant arrays of independent nodes (RAIN) - offering petabyte scalability. Adding capacity is easy: EMC Centera auto-discovers and configures the new capacity as it's installed.
- Self-healing
EMC Centera continuously monitors to detect and repair soft errors. It also automatically reconfigures itself and replicates objects as necessary if hardware failures occur such as disks or nodes - which are automatically reported through EMC's remote monitoring system.
- Business continuity protection
When using content mirroring protection, all information objects are synchronously mirrored within a local EMC Centera cluster to support automatic recovery from component failures. EMC Centera also can be configured to maintain duplicate copies of fixed content at a remote site to guard against site disaster.
- Easy installation and non-disruptive upgrades
Install or upgrade EMC Centera in under an hour, without disrupting content access. EMC Centera's software operating environment, CentraStar, also can be upgraded non-disruptively as new versions are released.
- Future-proof architecture
Content stored within EMC Centera is location- and hardware-independent - even as technologies evolve, records will continue to remain accessible, independent of the underlying storage medium.
