Small re-design of the Razuna home and feature page and a new Cloud page

by on October 25, 2010 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

We just wanted to let you know that we have made a small re-design of our Razuna home page and our feature page.

On the home page you will find some of the features described in short that Razuna covers. On our feature page we continue describing these a bit more and are describing additional functionalities of Razuna.

Razuna has always been capable to work with the Cloud. Razuna 1.3 brought supported for the Nirvanix SDN. With Razuna 1.4 we have added support for Amazon S3 and Eucalyptus. To explain these possibilities further we now have a new “Razuna & the Cloud” page.

We are continuing to improve our presence and hope that these small changes help to understand what benefit Razuna can bring to managing digital medias within organizations.

Razuna open source Digital Asset Management and the future

by on December 12, 2008 in Uncategorized

It is the middle of December 2008 and it’s time to reflect a bit back to the last couple of months. Especially in regard to our release of Razuna – our open source Digital Asset Management (DAM). First off, I have to say that the download numbers are overwhelming and the feedback we have gotten from you is simply amazing.

Thus we want to share with you what the future of Razuna will bring to you and your organization.

Razuna and the Cloud
There is a lot of buzz around Cloud computing and putting your stuff in the cloud. Be it in moving your current server infrastructure to a virtual platform (Amazon EC2, Flexiscale comes to mind) or by using one of the many storage networks (Amazon S3, Nirvanix, etc.). Thus we are very happy to be able to announce that one of the new things that you will see in a future version of Razuna is the ability to store your assets with one of the storage providers like Amazon or Nirvanix.
In other words, Razuna will be the first Digital Asset Management that allows you to not only leverage your local hardware infrastructure but also use your current Amazons S3 or Nirvanix account. You can imagine that we are very exited about this and can’t wait until you get your hands on it. As mentioned we can’t say in which version this will be released, but it won’t be too long.

Razuna Workflow
A high demand on our feature list is the ability to have a certain set of assets be ready for a preview/review proccess. Version 1.1.4 of Razuna will be all about Workflow, Review and Preview of your asset collection. You will be able to publish collections with their own unique URLs, protect them with groups and users, have your reviewers comment of each asset and have a full log of your workflow ready at hand.

Razuna Version Control
Also, high on our feature list and wanted from customers is the ability to version assets. That means, that you will be able to upload different versions of the same asset and have it versioned. Thus being able to “move back” in time to a certain version. This will most probably make it into Version 1.1.4 or Version 1.1.5.

Razuna Database support
Currently, Razuna comes with high performance embedded database and with Oracle support. In version 1.1.3 there will be MySQL support built in as well. After that we are planning on bringing support for MS SQL and PostGreSQL. If there is a demand for any other database, please let us know.

Razuna GUI
Currently, we are in the middle of a light design overhaul of the whole Razuna experience. We trust that the new GUI will make it easier for our customers to manage their assets. The new design will most probably be incorporated in Version 1.1.4 of Razuna.

I hope you like some of the new features as much as we do making them. We encourage everyone to either leave a comment on this page or enter a feature request at our public issues system. Let us know what you think and let us make Razuna your Digital Asset Management of choice.

In any case, Razuna is all about openness and we welcome any party that wants to work with us on building the next generation Digital Asset Management or individuals who want to support us in our endevours.
