Razuna 1.1, open source digital asset management, now available

We are very happy to announce that Version 1.1 of Razuna – our open source Digital Asset Management System with integrated Web Content Management – is now available (and this on the day that Elvis died and Madonna turns 50)!

Version 1.1 features a embedded database that lets you deploy Razuna within minutes and without any additional database setup. The embedded database performs very well and holds up in production environments as well. Of course, support for the Oracle database is still given.

We also increased the speed on some asset operations and make now extensive use of the Lucene search engine. Additionally we included a Upgrade Manager, which makes upgrading to a new version a breeze. For the CMS part we updated FCKEditor to release 2.6.3 which fixes some issues that users experienced on Firefox 3.

This release of Razuna is a major leap for us, since we have now transitioned to a complete Open Source distribution, where all components used are now open sourced. For the technically inclined Razuna leverages the following open source components; OpenBD (Lucene included), Tomcat and H2 (I am going to blog some more about this database). As always, this release comes as a WAR/EAR distribution or bundled with Tomcat as a Standalone Server.

Updates on Razuna – open source Digital Asset Management

Just a short notice that a version 1.1 of Razuna – open source Digital Asset Management (DAM) with integrated Content Management (CMS) – is coming in about two weeks.

The major change for version 1.1 will be that it will feature an embedded database, meaning you won’t need to install any additional database. The embedded database performs very well and holds up in production environments as well. This just brings down the installation of Razuna to 2 minutes (downloading Razuna, unzip it and run the server)! Of course, support for the existing Oracle database is still available.

Also we ironed out a couple of bugs that sneaked in after the 1.0 release.

Razuna 1.0 released

I’m happy to announce that version 1.0 of Razuna, our open source Digital Asset Management (DAM) System, is now available. Thought this is only labeled version 1.0, this release has come a long way and has been a rewrite from a former commercial application.

Razuna contains a number of features that makes it a very powerful Digital and Media Asset Management that once deployed you will find to be indispensable.  You can automate the process of adding images, videos and documents, convert videos and images to different formats on the fly and make them accessible to others with ease. The built in full text search engine does not only index PDF’s but also Powerpoint, Excel and Word documents.

One feature that we would like to draw your attention to is the tight integration of the Adobe XMP metadata standard. With it, any image that contains Metadata in the form of XMP (Photoshop, InDesign, etc. do embed metadata in XMP format) will be read by Razuna and made editable right in the web interface. Vice-versa alike, meaning if you edit the metadata within Razuna, this metadata will be written back into the image! Of course, the same applies to IPTC and EXIF metadata.

We have also integrated a complete Web Content Management (CMS). Thus you can take your assets and publish them within the same system in seconds. Times when publishing a press release with attachments was a cumbersome undertaking is a thing of the past. Simply collect the assets within Razuna and put that collection on your website. Since this is a open API we can imagine that other CMS vendors would like to take advantage of this feature as well.

We’ve prepared a brief introduction video tour , if you have 10 minutes to spare, it’s worth a watch (Tip: hover over the video and watch it in HD!):

Razuna is available under a dual-license (AGPLv3 and commercial) and is ready for deployment. It comes in two flavors, Razuna Server Bundle (built-In Tomcat) or as Razuna WAR/EAR (which you can deploy on Tomcat, JBoss and Jetty). Release 1.0 does need a Oracle Database, but we are hard at work on version 1.1 which will include support for a embedded database. Available are also a public Bug and Feature Tracker and the public documentation (which we are hard at work as well).

A public demonstration site will be soon available, also. If you would like to have a personal demonstration, I am more then happy to show you the system. The best is to use this contact form.

We hope you enjoy this release of Razuna.
