Many applications support writing to Centera via its API. Over time a decision may be made to replace the existing Centera storage infrastructure with a lower cost alternative archival storage system. Customers may find it challenging to determine how to extract THEIR DATA from the proprietary black box architecture.

DataTrust Solutions understands the technical issues surrounding the complexity of Centera and ECS and delivers a data migration service that will:

  • Enable continuous access to users or applications
  • Define Policies to move only the data that is needed
  • Extract application specific meta-data
  • Verify every migrated file using cryptographic hashes
  • Preserve chain-of-custody for all compliant data
  • Remap the data so the application can use it at its new location
  • Optimize extractions to minimize project duration
  • Provide project management
  • Minimize the impact to your IT staff

Our Centera /ECS migration service uses an internally developed application. The software is loaded on a server and is delivered as an virtual or physical appliance. It can also be pre-configured with IP addresses for easy addition to your network. For large migrations more than one migration appliance may be used in parallel.

Migrations can be on-site, remote or a mix depending upon your requirements.
