Centera network
 Dual 24-port cube switches
 Gigabit Ethernet connections to
facilitate additional cubes
 Redundant connection to each node
Extreme scalability
Multiple cubes form
a single cluster
Multiple Cluster form
a Virtual Archive
© Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
 Massive parallel processing
 Add storage: processing power, memory, bandwidth

Centera Requires No Backups
Centera
 Dramatically reduces opportunities for errors to affect data access
or authenticity
 If an error occurs, it can be discovered and healed
How?
 Fixed content prevents data overwrites by applications
 Content authenticity, independent copies, self-monitoring, selfhealing
–
–
–
–
Detection and healing of bad disk blocks
Content regeneration from loss of entire disk
Detection and healing of FS errors
Content regeneration from total loss of FS
Limited configuration
 Human error cannot affect the archive filesystems or disks
– No active management of these resources

How EMC Centera Works:
EMC Centera
performs Content
Address calculation
and sends address
back to application
Simple
Object is created
and sent to
application server

Application server sends object to
EMC Centera over IP network
Database stores

Content Protection: Mirror
• Object is written to Centera, Centera finds
least busy node
• A duplicate is immediately made
on another node
• Once there are 2 copies,
the write is acknowledged
• Content Address is stored by application
• If a node or disk fails,
the contents are re-mirrored automatically
Mirrored = 50% of raw capacity
© Copyright 2011 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
10
Content Protection: Parity
• Object is written to Centera,
Splits up object into 6 pieces
• A Parity Piece is calculated (XOR)
• Each piece is distributed to individual nodes
(based on which is least busy)
• Content Address is stored by the application
• If a node or a disk fails,
automatically the contents are
mathematically regenerated (XOR)
Parity ~ 83% of raw capacity

• Event-based Retention
–
–
“Undetermined” retention period set when content is stored
specific retention period starts counting at the time of an “event”
• Litigation Hold
–
–
Enables an application to put a “hold” on a content item beyond any retention setting
Prevents deletion until the hold is removed
• Minimum Maximum Retention period
–
Writes are only accepted if retention period setting meets the limits

Atmos Policy
Automated data transformation helps manage cost and service
Business determines business objectives and value of data
Applications trigger policy with metadata: “Status = UserPaid”, “UserNotPaid”
Policies drive actions at the object level:
Where to store information (location)
What data services to apply (Drive spin-down, compression, deduplication, striping)
What protection techniques to use (Atmos GeoProtect)
