So why would anyone buy a Centera? It uses a proprietary API, and with a list price of $210,000 for 5 Tbytes of usable storage, it's considerably more expensive than Clariion with ATA drives (especially if you're buying your Clariion through Dell). Hollis says Centera is purpose-built for long-term archival, and it's best suited for customers that require nonrepudiation -- which refers to a digital signature that guarantees the authenticity of a document. EMC says the system has been getting traction in the financial services and healthcare sectors, and claims it sold 1 petabyte (or 1,000 TBytes) of Centera in the fourth quarter of 2002 (see EMC Sells Petabyte of Centera).
