by on September 21, 2010 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

We are more then pleased to announce the immediate availability of Razuna 1.4. This release brings over 100 enhancements and is a culmination of half a year work by many contributors. You can download Razuna 1.4 directly from our website (Standalone Server, WAR or Virtual Server for your virtualization platform) or update within your own installation (detailed upgrade path is available here).

Major new features in this release include:

  • The option to store assets on Amazon S3 & Eucalyptus. Thus, Razuna can not only run in the cloud but also use all major Cloud Storage Providers.
  • Backup & Restore functionality. Upgrading Razuna with ease.
  • Complete Re-Design of the Firsttime Wizard. Creating or migrating your Digital Asset Management has never been easier. Really!
  • Lightbox Management for shared folders & collections.
  • Added support for IBM’s Websphere and DB2 Database.
  • New Upload Tool. Drag & Drop assets from your desktop to Razuna.
  • Complete Re-Design for many parts within Razuna.
  • OGG and WebM video support.
  • Added Metadata writing for audios, videos and documents.
  • A lot of HTML5 goodies.
  • Major speed improvement.

Developers and network admins will appreciate the new backup & restore, enhanced permission settings and rich API functions. As a user, you will love that Razuna feels much snappier, has the option to drag & drop your assets right from your desktop and the light design which lets you focus on your assets.

We could go on, but we are busy producing a video for you to see all the goodies. (As of this time, we haven’t quite finished the video, but we just couldn’t hold off the release anymore. Video will come in another blog post :-) )

Update: Attached is the new video for Razuna 1.4. (Watch it in HD or jump over to Vimeo for awesome quality)

Some changes to our Razuna Hosted Platform

by on July 13, 2010 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

There have been a lot of changes going on over at Razuna and we would like to share them with you.

Razuna Cloud Server

First off, our Razuna Cloud Server offering is being taken on by a lot of customers already. We haven’t even formalized a official press release and clients see already the benefit of a dedicated Razuna server in the cloud. The Razuna Cloud Servers offer all the power and control of a traditional hosted server whilst giving you an unmatched combination of instant flexibility, ease of use and cost efficiency. If you’re looking into a Hosted Digital Asset Management Solution then we urge you to check out the Razuna Cloud Server offering.

One plan for our Razuna Hosted Platform

It is no secret that our Razuna Hosted Platform is one of the most used Hosted Digital Asset Management Solution for small to medium businesses that need a Hosted Digital Asset Management on the go. Not only, does it work as expected, it gives you the fastest and easiest access to collaborate and share your assets with your team within minutes after signing up.

Lately, the Razuna team has put a lot of thinking on how to improve the Razuna Hosted Platform and we think we have come up with a solution to satisfy all clients.

As of immediately, we are removing the “Basic” Plan that was available for $5/month and are instead offering the “Business” Plan, which is now called “Pro” Plan, for only $1.80/GB/month. That means, there is now only one paid Plan, which brings all the service that you came to love in Razuna.

We will, of course, continue to provide our Free plan. The Free plan is designed so customers can use a Hosted Digital Asset Management be it private users, small groups or a company. Going forward, our Free plan will no longer provide the option to convert images, videos or audios to different formats, add groups to folders & collections or accessing some of the functions in the Administration. These will be available as part of our “Pro” Plan.

We’re confident these changes will be a great fit for businesses of all sizes looking for a Hosted Digital Asset Management, but we know that the changes to the free plan, however minor, will be inconvenient to some. We apologize in advance. If you’re getting real business value out of our service we hope you’ll consider signing up to the $1.80/GB/month Plan.

And as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on these changes. Feel free to leave a comment here.
