Storigen Systems And EMC Extend Storage Partnership

Storigen Systems, the provider of Distributed Storage Networks that eliminate geographic barriers to enterprise productivity, announced that EMC Corporation has licensed and is selling Storigen's patent-pending Centera Application Gateway (CAG). The gateway will provide organizations with the capability to integrate their existing legacy fixed content management applications with EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS). EMC Centera is a software-driven storage architecture specifically designed to address the unique information storage requirements of fixed content.

"Centera CAS has quickly become the storage platform of choice for storing and managing fixed content," said Roy Sanford, EMC's Vice President of Content Addressed Storage. "The Centera Application Gateway will help more organizations harness their rapidly growing stores of fixed content."

The CAG is an easy and reliable way for companies to begin to realize the benefits of content addressed storage in providing fast online access and long-term retention of valuable fixed content that can range from a digital medical image to a scanned insurance policy or a piece of digital media such as a TV advertisement. The CAG is currently available from EMC.

"We're very pleased to secure a channel to one of the hottest markets in the storage industry -- content addressed storage -- with the company that invented it," said Dennis Hoffman, CEO and Co-founder of Storigen Systems. "Together, we'll accelerate the fantastic success EMC has seen to date with Centera."
