StorHouse for EMC Centera

Making Fixed Content Applications Centera-Ready - page 2

StorHouse/RFS For file-level applications
FileTek's StorHouse/Relational File System (RFS) is the strategic technology driving StorHouse for EMC Centera. This file system interface to StorHouse enables fixed content applications without a Centera interface to use Centera for file-level archive applications.

StorHouse/RFS is easy to use with existing applications. It presents itself to a client host as a remote volume, or drive. Applications use this drive, or virtual file system, as the storage location for their fixed content data. The virtual file system is simply a mount point or shared drive. To an application, it looks like any other available disk or drive.

Applications use StorHouse/RFS to archive and access files through standard file I/O methods supported by their platform's operating system (for example, NFS, NTFS, and CIFS). The net result is a transparent, seamless solution that can be rapidly deployed into production.

Figure 2 illustrates how different applications can access data using StorHouse for EMC Centera.
