EMC is extending its Centera family of content storage
systems to address the growing archiving needs of mid-size
enterprises.
The EMC Centera four-node configuration delivers the same
content and management features in other Centera configurations,
but at a price aimed at mid-size operations.
The new option is equipped with the newly launched Centera
operating system and has the capability to be rack-mounted in EMC
or other industry-standard racks, to reduce costs and save floor
space.
Tom Heiser, EMC Centera Division senior vice president and
general manager, said, “Mid-size enterprises have been asking EMC
for a solution to cost-effectively archive fixed content, such as
e-mail and important business records, in a way that meets their
requirements.
“With this new configuration we can now make managing and
archiving fixed content more affordable and simpler than ever.”
The Centera four-node configuration will be available later this
month. It will offer 2.2TB (terabytes) of usable capacity at a
price 35% lower than previous entry level options, said EMC.
