WindFire Announces Support for EMC Centera Content Addressed Storage Solution

Integration interface provides powerful link for high-volume information management

May 21, 2003 - San Diego, CA—WindFire Technology today announced it has entered into an agreement with EMC Corporation to integrate the company's Xtorm™ enterprise information management (EIM) suite with the EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS) solution. EMC Centera represents an entirely new software-driven storage architecture specifically designed to address the unique information storage requirements of any structured or unstructured data.

WindFire has completed, and is now shipping its integration adapter for the EMC Centera CAS solution, which provides a direct and bi-directional communication layer with Xtorm. "Our adapter now enables Xtorm customers to take full advantage of EMC's CAS technology and provides a high performance/high capacity storage alternative to optical storage devices for archiving their large content resources," said Maurice Correa, president of WindFire.

WindFire's Xtorm EIM suite comprises enterprise content management, business process management and virtual repository management applications. Developed on a J2EE, XML and Unicode foundation, the integrated suite is designed to be embedded into existing business applications.

WindFire's EIM solution is designed specifically for production-level transaction processing environments that inherently rely on expansive storage resources. The company's virtual repository applications, in combination with adapters such as the EMC Centera adapter, play a central role by enabling rapid data access, management and storage for both structured and unstructured data.
