New York -- Arkivio, Inc. today announced it has completed integration with EMC Centera content address storage (CAS) and is introducing an advanced solution for managing file-based, fixed content and regulated data over its lifecycle.

The Arkivio auto-stor software, now integrated with the EMC Centera API (application programming interface), offers data and storage discovery, classification, and management in one comprehensive ILM solution for regulatory compliance.

IT Administrators are able to identify and report on regulated files across EMC storage platforms, heterogeneous file systems, and DAS, NAS, and SAN volumes. Additionally, the Arkivio software organizes and classifies data according to its business value and then automates archival and migration to the EMC Centera based on administrator-defined retention policies -- all without requiring deployment of agents on application servers or storage devices.

Concerns over information authenticity, protection and security have become a unified global concern as the amount of textual and rich media based information has risen exponentially over the past decade. Government regulations such as SEC Rule 17a-4 for the financial services industries, HIPPA for healthcare, and the all encompassing Sarbanes-Oxley legislation have created a tremendous demand for on-line archiving and data retention solutions.
