New Open API from Extensis Leverages Digital Asset Management Across the Enterprise

(PRWEB) February 28, 2012

Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., today unveiled a preview of Portfolio Server 10.2, the latest version of the market leading digital asset management (DAM) software. With Extensis latest release, customers can catalog additional file formats and connect their rich media assets with other business systems using Portfolio Server 10.2s new open API.

Portfolio Server helps groups of people manage and find all of their digital media in one location, and the new API offers the same benefits but to other computer systems used throughout the organization. Customers can integrate the graphic, video, and document assets and media processing tools within Portfolio Server with their other IT systems, including ecommerce systems, content management systems, websites, intranet sites, and more. For example, images and metadata managed within Portfolio Server become easily accessible from within a content management system like WordPress, or are automatically synchronized with a museums collection management system. The result is greater workflow efficiency by streamlining and integrating DAM with other business processes and IT systems.

The new API can also be used to monetize asset collections and generate new revenue streams by enabling ecommerce integration. According to Extensis customer Bob Hendriks, Managing Director, In Transit Images, Digital asset management is a critical element for our business at In Transit Images; our company and business model revolves around it entirely. The API delivers a crucial connection between our portal and our vast collection of high-quality photographs by leveraging the digital assets and workflow tools within Portfolio Server across our company and ecommerce website.

In addition to third party business system integration, having a wide variety of file format support is important to workers that need to quickly preview visual files, as well as convert digital media into other formats. Portfolio Server 10.2 offers additional file format support, including more professional video formats like DivX, XDCAM, AVC-Intra, AVCHD, and DNxHD, as well as support for searching for OCR text within PDF documents.

Australian video production agency 50 Kaliber Films relies on Portfolio Servers robust file format support to catalog video, graphic, and document formats. Evan Butson, CTO, 50 Kaliber Films noted, Migrating to Portfolio Server 10.2 from our existing DAM has not only allowed us to speed up our existing workflows, but with the added functionality and wide range of supported formats, allowed us to expand the range of services we offer.

Extensis is building on its legacy of delivering DAM solutions and professional services that help companies quickly and easily improve efficiencies and productivity within a matter of days. In 2011, Extensis released Portfolio Server 10, delivering robust iPad, tablet and video support that enabled customers the ability to access digital assets on demand and migrate from legacy systems like Apple Final Cut Server. Portfolio Server 10.2 takes this to the next level by allowing customers to catalog anything, find everything and integrate across systems.

Customers demand openness and want assurance that their investment in DAM can be leveraged in many ways- now and in the future, said Davin Kluttz, Senior Product Manager at Extensis. The advanced file support and new API in Portfolio Server 10.2 offer customers immediate gains in efficiency, and sustaining benefits as they look to easily integrate DAM functionality with other business systems.

Pricing and Availability

The Portfolio Server 10.2 update will be available in spring 2012 and will be free for all Portfolio Server 10 customers. For more information about Portfolio Server 10.2 and to download a free trial, visit http://www.extensis.com/p102

Certified Hosting Announces Deployment of CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack Across Shared Hosting Platform for Maximum Uptime and Stability

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 28, 2011

Certified Hosting, a leading shared, reseller, and dedicated server hosting company, announced today major improvements in uptime and stability across the companys shared hosting platform by moving to advanced, innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technologies. New and existing Certified Hosting customers using unlimited shared hosting plans will appreciate the increased stability, performance, and availability of their websites thanks to the move.

The reason for the move is to provide an even more stable environment for Certified Hosting customers using our shared hosting services, says Kacy Carlsen, Certified Hosting co-founder and CEO. With innovative technology like CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack in place, customers using Certified Hosting unlimited hosting plans will definitely enjoy better uptime and performance of their websites and improved quality of service from the Certified Hosting support team.

Regardless of how great any web hosting providers uptime is, there is still downtime every now and then caused by two different factors. While Certified Hosting has a guaranteed 99.9% uptime for customers on all shared hosting plans, occasional downtime, albeit short, has been inevitable due to the shortcomings of previous shared hosting platform technology and server reboots as a result of Linux OS kernel patching. In the past, all shared web hosting providers and their customers had to put up with these two issues as there was no way to fix these prevailing issues.

To combat these two factors and make our uptime even better, Certified Hosting chose the latest innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technology for all our shared web hosting servers, says Carlsen. When combined, these two great and innovative technologies allow running shared servers almost without any reboots resulting in nearly zero downtime for shared hosting customers websites. Each technology is aimed at combating one of the two major factors causing downtime on a shared hosting platform.

CloudLinux is an innovative server operating system (OS) that has been designed specifically for shared hosting environments as an alternative to conventional operating systems like CentOS and RHEL. CloudLinux OS features website account isolation on an OS level, which is similar to VPS hosting and results in a more stable shared hosting solution platform. Deploying CloudLinux OS allows Certified Hosting to ensure resource spikes caused by a customers website do not take down the entire server. Each customer will be assigned a finite amount of resources, which will ultimately increase stability and uptime for all shared hosting accounts.

The Ksplice Uptrack service combats another major factor causing downtime in any hosting environment reboots due to Linux OS kernel patching. Usually, Linux servers need to be rebooted monthly or more often to apply kernel security updates. If you look at Certified Hostings uptime record, you will see that most of our downtime is caused by having to reboot servers to apply these updates, says Carlsen. With Ksplice Uptrack, Certified Hosting limits the amount of downtime, if any, that normally occurs due to kernel security updates. There will be no more server reboots as all updates will be applied by hot-patching a running kernel.

Certified Hosting technicians have also embraced both technologies. With CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack in place, they will not have to rush to pinpoint website accounts causing spikes and get servers back online or spend additional hours to take servers down to perform kernel updates. Instead, Certified Hostings tech support team can spend more time answering questions and helping customers get the most out of their shared web hosting experience.

Certified Hosting constantly monitors the IT market for new and innovative technologies that we can implement to make our customers online experiences even better. We are extremely confident that the CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack combination will provide us and Certified Hosting customers with a more reliable, stable, and secure shared hosting environment than ever, concludes Carlsen.

Certified Hosting also provides 24/7/365 expert support and monitoring with all shared hosting plans and a host of other free features. To find out more about Certified Hostings unlimited shared hosting plans with maximum uptime and availability in the hosting industry, shared web hosting customers are encouraged to visit http://certifiedhosting.com/unlimited-web-hosting/.
