How to deploy Razuna to your virtual environment

by on March 25, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

It is no secret, that our top download option for our Open Source Digital Asset Managament Razuna is the Razuna Virtual Server Image.

Not only, does it the Virtual Image come with a full Razuna pre-installed, but also contains a full Linux installation and can be deployed to any virtual environment within a short time. In other words, it only takes you a couple of minutes to deploy a full blown Razuna server to VMWare ESX(i), a XEN server or even Amazon EC2 (just to name a few). That without you having to install, update or configure much. There you have it, a Digital Asset Management that is really ready for the cloud!

In order for you to see this in action, we out together a small tutorial outlining how to deploy the Razuna Virtual Server Image in the most effective way. Please find the tutorial below (video is recorded in HD. We recommend watching it so in full screen).

Update for Razuna 1.1.4

by on February 21, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

We have found two issues after the release of Razuna 1.1.4 yesterday. The two issues, which are now fixed, are;

  1. eMails would not get send out properly. When you added or converted an asset you were supposed to receive an eMail. This did not work.
  2. Converting a movie to Flash. If you tried to convert a movie to a Flash format it did not work. There was an entry, but playing the movie resulted in an error.

We have updated the current downloads and the Razuna Virtual Server this afternoon. So, in case you have already downloaded Razuna 1.1.4 yesterday or today morning, we kindly ask you to re-download Razuna 1.1.4 again. You can simply overwrite the “global” folder (within the Razuna folder) and you will get all the fixes.

We apologize for this glitch.

Razuna 1.1.4 is here

by on February 20, 2009 in Digital Asset Management, Razuna

razuna_logo_200We are happy to announce the official release of Razuna 1.1.4, another fine release of the already much hyped open source Digital Asset Management. Razuna makes it easy for any individual, small firm or big organization to manage all aspects of Digital Assets in a totally hassle free environment.

Razuna 1.1.4 brings the following new features to the already existing features;

Folder Permissions
A folder can now be owned by a user only. Previously, you had to share a folder with the “Everyone” group. Now, you can simply uncheck the “Everyone” group and the folder will only be accessible to you. Others will not see the folder and all assets within are protected. Also, assets can not be found with the search once they are in a user protected folder. We also fixed an issue with inheritance of folder permissions.

Internet Explorer Compatible
It’s not always easy to develop for all platforms and all browsers alike. Even thought we only use CSS and Javascript, there are sometimes browser platform issues that can not be overcome easily. Razuna 1.1.4 is now compatible with IE 7 & 8. Whereas Razuna acts and looks much better with IE8 then IE7 (don’t turn on Compatible mode, that thing makes it worse)…

Performance Improvements
Due to a new version of the Application Server and its new feature to cache Javascript, CSS files and certain parts of Razuna, the new version is magnitudes faster. But we not only improved the loading of Razuna, but also streamlined our code much more. You can see an immediate effect of this new performance by uploading your assets. Assets are now uploaded in the back and you will be notified by eMail of the upload process, respectively when the assets has been uploaded to the server.

Miscellaneous
Our international users will be happy to see that Razuna can now search words with foreign characters (like German umlauts and Norwegian characters) correctly. You can now upload your own logo and it will be shown everywhere instead of the default Razuna logo. User timeouts are handled correctly and we made a couple of subtle design changes.

As always you can download Razuna 1.1.4 over at the Razuna download page. Users of Razuna 1.1.3 will get notified within the system. Upgrading to the new version is outlined over at the Razuna Wiki (it is a simple step and only takes about 5 minutes).

Did you know that you can deploy Razuna to your favorite virtual environment? With our Razuna Virtual Server Image you can deploy to Amazon EC2, VMWare (also Server and ESX(i)), Parallels, XEN, VirtualIron, etc. Simply head over to the dedicated Razuna Virtual Server page and build your own Virtual Server. You’ll literally be up and running within minutes. Deployment of a Digital Asset Management has never been easier.

If you need help you can join the growing Razuna Customer Community, especially companies can enjoy a hassle free Digital Asset Management deployment with our Support Subscription.

Last but not least, we would like to thank our Community for putting forward requests and helping us to make Razuna the best open source Digital Asset Management offering.

Thank you for using Razuna.
