CYA Technologies Ensures Integrity and Accessibility of ECM System Information in EMC Centera

Merckle GmbH, RatioPharm and others using CYA SmartRecovery to facilitate compliance and support business continuity

SHELTON, CT – May 12, 2009 – CYA Technologies, an enChoice® company, today announced that CYA SmartRecovery™ now has the capability to ensure the integrity and 24x7 accessibility of enterprise content management (ECM) system information stored in EMC Centera®. The solution facilitates compliance with mandates requiring metadata preservation and supports business continuity goals by ensuring that all metadata stored in the ECM system, including the C-Clip content address providing access to ECM content in Centera, are protected from logical failures.

Programmatic errors, viruses and other logical failures can corrupt the content address and other metadata such as audit trails and workflows, rendering the information in Centera completely inaccessible, and causing the permanent loss of critical document properties. This results in significant compliance risk with initiatives requiring the preservation, retention, and production of information such as Sarbanes-Oxley, FDA CFR Part 11, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure eDiscovery Rules Amendment.

With CYA SmartRecovery, the content address and other metadata can be quickly restored back their original states with no downtime in response to logical failures, ensuring that all information is available 24x7 to meet compliance, legal, and general business demands. CYA SmartRecovery performs hot, synchronized backups that enable just one administrator to recover one, several, or thousands of repository objects without experiencing inconsistency (corruption) issues or impacting system users. Companies using CYA SmartRecovery to protect information within both their ECM systems and Centera include Merckle GmbH, RatioPharm, and T-Systems.

“Companies that store ECM system information on Centera but don’t take steps to properly protect it are putting themselves needlessly at risk for significant fines, increased eDiscovery costs, lost productivity, paralysis of day-to-day operations, and a whole host of other disastrous consequences,” said Mike Fernandes, director of product management and services for CYA. “CYA SmartRecovery is the only solution that fully protects ECM information both within Centera and the primary repository from inaccessibility caused by the most common sources of data loss.”
