Brian, this is an area in which several vendors besides EMC--such as IBM and HP--are playing, so you might want to look over their offerings, too.
Nothing like competition to get the EMCs of the world to sharpen their pencils.

Hi Brian, no to the first (but I am sure NetApp or their local dealer
will generously share with you a happy-customer list), and yes to the
second (according to NetApp).
Good luck, and let the list know how it goes.
Best regards.

Aloha Fred,
Do you know of anyone writing their images to Net Apps? Is the Net Apps
storage certifiable, unalterable and comparable to WORM specifications?

Mahalo to you, Brian.
I bought a Centera four years ago at the NY City Dept. Of Environmental
Protection (DEP).
Give plenty of thought to the software which, in our experience, was the
big surprise (very different file system); to how you will ingest files
into the Centera; and bear in mind the input/output speed is very low,
for a "box of drives".
OTOH, the hardware side was utterly reliable, and the h/w service too.
Expect your IT staff will need to learn how the machine functions--it's
NOT a standard SAN device.
One of our problems at DEP was no IT staff on site, and a certain
unwillingness to send them there.
Come to think of it, these comments most likely apply to any of the
several similar systems on the market (NetApp, for example).
Good luck and
Best regards.

Aloha All,
I'm currently working on a project to move my document images from an
optical jukebox to a Centera Storage system...I'd appreciate any
feedback from anyone using Centera regarding its reliability and
functionality. There are rumblings from my IT geeks that there are
better storage options than Centera...Is that true???
Mahalo!
