Potential savings of aggressive SAP Data Archiving:
• Significant reduction of SAP database size
• Reduced hardware and administration costs
• Peformance improvement - reduced response time
• Reduced effort for daily backup and potential desaster recovery
• Secure data management for legal requirements

Challenges of the SAP Data Archiving process:
• Comfortable and complete retrieval of archived data
=> Display and evalution features
• Transparent and easy navigation within document chains
=> Nested documents and document flow
• Data extraction for internal and external purposes
=> Audits and legal requirements, system shutdown
• Usability with few training effort

EMC Centera – Features
EMC Centera is a scalable and secure storage system for data which cannot be changed anymore (fixed content), using HDD.
Main features:
Worldwide first CAS system (Content Addressed Storage):Access to stored objects by worldwide identical address, the addresses are calculated from the content, this avoids multiple storage of identical objects
Easy installation
Cost-effective maintenance, only costs for storage space, power supply and air-conditioning
Reliable because of redundant hardware, automatical mirroring of all objects and permanent checking of data integrity
Future-proof: the stored data is independent of used hardware
Extension, upgrade, repair and replication without disturbing operation
