Provides faster, security-rich access to enterprise content and documents

• Stores and manages enterprise-level volumes of fixed information and content more efficiently to help increase productivity and reduce costs.
• Uses security-rich features that help prevent corruption and loss of critical content and documents caused by unexpected disruptions.
• Offers a high availability environment that gives users quick access to critical information.
• Works with a scalable environment to meet the changing demands of organizations.

Works with built-in connectors to extend services

• Includes three FileNet Image Services connectors for EMC Centera, IBM DR550 and SnapLock magnetic WORM storage products. These connectors enable more expansive, storage capabilities, including tools to aid regulatory compliance.
• Provides fast access to massive amounts of scalable storage while offering a viable online alternative to optical storage.
• Connects with EMC Centera storage technology to help prevent content from being overwritten or changed. Works with EMC Centera’s self-management, self-configuration and self-healing functions.
• Integrates with IBM DR550 to provide a non-erasable and non-rewritable disk storage subsystem for fixed content archiving and compliance-related functions.
• Works with SnapLock magnetic WORM storage to provide advanced data retention and internal IT compliance functions. Operates on NetApp® NearStore® and FAS network-attached storage devices.

Takes advantage of Windows-based user interfaces

• Provides an intuitive web browser-style interface for access to most document types, including word processing, spreadsheets, scanned paper documents, HTML forms, fax, audio and video.

Integrates with magnetic storage and retrieval systems

• Takes advantage of existing enterprise storage investments and extends their use.
• Handles up to 8 petabytes of rewritable disk storage per system.
• Works with various storage technologies, including storage area network (SAN), network-attached storage (NAS), tape silos and hierarchical storage management (HSM).
• Retrieves data substantially faster than with an optical library.
• Delivers data integrity and data management capabilities plus improved device flexibility and higher reliability.

Uses a resource adaptor to connect with custom J2EE applications

• Connects custom J2EE applications to FileNet Image Services content for scalable, high performance, high volume access to vast amounts of business information.
• Enables users to access, view and manage FileNet Image Services content within a familiar Java application.
• Helps reduce costs associated with training, development and integration.
• Provides support for standard document management functions, including addition, retrieval, update, deletion and removal of documents and folders.
• Includes application programming interfaces (APIs) for custom application development and integration.
