Hi,

what exactly must my integration support, to get the centera proven logo?

Unfortunately the link
http://www.keylabs.com//emc-centera/files/remote_test_process.pdf
points to an empty PDF.

The program mentions:

# Basic Centera Capabilities: We verify the functionality of the Centera write, read, and delete capabilities that the tested application supports.

OK, the application writes, reads and deletes. What exactly is meant here?

# Centera Replication: We verify the application's support for Centera replication features.

This I do not understand. For me, replication is transparent, additionally some features can be controlled by SetGlobalOption or an env-var.
So what I have to do by programming here?

# Centera Disaster Recovery and Offsite Backup/Replication: We validate the application's support for Centera Multi-Cluster Failover to an Offsite Replica Cluster.

Must my application support disaster recovery?
Failover is transparent - isn't it?
What is an offsite replica cluster?

# Compliance Market and Retention: We verify the application's retention support and functionality.

The application calls clip.SetRentionPerid. Is this enough?

# Single Instance Storage: We verify the application's ability to offer single instance storage for identical objects.

Hm, this is transparent for me too - isn't it?

# Collision Avoidance: We verify the application's ability to support Collision Avoidance regardless of identical content.

What do I have to do here?

# Capacity Reporting: We verify application reporting of Centera capacity.

What do I have to do here?

Thank you
