Hello Praveen,
As mentioned earlier by Jeffrey, all the documentation (help, release notes, quick start) can be found once the Customer CD 4.1 (currently the latest is installed). This can be found under Program Files > Globalservices 4.x ..In case you are unable to find the download under the Support->Software Downloads and Licensing->Downloads C->Centera Enterprise Software or if the Centera Enterprise Software is not seen, please write a mail to powerlink@emc.com for access.
Under Powerlink, search for ' centera product guide ' which will give you a overview on Centera and how it works. This is a very excellent document to start with.
As for the second part of the question,we need a SDK to access the storage. The EMC Centera SDK provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows client applications to natively integrate with EMC Centera. A natively integrated application is able to create, store, retrieve, and delete self-describing data objects in EMC Centera.
For detailed information on the SDK, refer to the EMC Centera API Reference Guide, P/N 069001185, and the EMC Centera Programmer’s Guide, P/N 069001127.

The Centera Viewer can be downloaded from Powerlink, along with the documentation....
Support->Software Downloads and Licensing->Downloads C->Centera Enterprise Software
and you want to get the Customer CD for 4.1 Patch 1.
This will contain the latest Centera Viewer and documentation.
You will need an application that is written to utilize the Centrastar API to write data to the Centera.
