Hello, hello! What's been up, how's it going?! Hope you are all doing just fine!
I've been talking to one of our Intranet Portal clients recently, - they purchased Bitrix Intranet Portal with unlimited user license because there is around 5K employees in their company. Now that the employees are ready to be linked together into a corporate network and start collaborating in an Enterprise2.0 style ))) they've chosen us to be an ECM solution provider for their business. It does flatter us to have such a big enterprise deciding to use our products and services.
Well I'd better cut down this introductory bullshoots and get down to business. The thing is that the IT specialists working for this company have been thinking over the idea to use Bitrix Virtual Appliance (BVA) as an environment for their Intranet Portal project...
When I learned that from them, I spoke to our IT guys who said it might not be quite a good idea to use a BVA for such great loads that could happen when a large number of users get their accounts activated and start interacting online simultaneously. However, there are some other ways to deploy Bitrix Intranet Portal. Let me share with you more information on the most commonly used ways to deploy Bitrix products... UPD: 05FEB2010
Our clients and partners got used to the idea that when you set up and run Bitrix Intranet Portal it is presupposed that you can use only a limited number of users (let's say "employees") within your corporate network. Well, I can say that this statement is now wrong… Twice.
First of all, you have an option to buy Bitrix Intranet Portal with unlimited user licenses. And secondly, the product has a brand new Extranet module that allows third party users (we can call them "non-employees") to access a part of your corporate network and interact with you and your colleagues!
Basically, the Extranet module is a kind of additional story built on your corporate network (Intranet Portal) that can be used as a neutral territory for inviting and working with people who do not belong to your company directly.
Well, what can I say... sales are going up, clients are showing more and more appreciation and satisfaction with the latest version of Bitrix intranet Portal, and we keep introducing new stuff that is supplied with our products. There's still a number of minor things that we can offer you along with the basic features and tools included in Bitrix Intranet Portal. My colleague, Ann, has already shared with you some details on the Clean-Up Wizard and how it can be used to remove all the demo data from your Bitrix Intranet Portal. And today I am going to write a couple of words concerning our new pricing policy.
Greetings!
I hope you all enjoy using new tools and features available in the latest version of Bitrix Intranet Portal. I know that the majority of our clients are business-oriented professionals who know the real value of time. That's right - time is money! And I am going about to tell you more about new and exciting features and cool extensions introduced in the Event Calendar.
In the beginning I am going to make a brief list of major changes made in the Event Calendar:
I will try to explain not only the stuff that I've just mentioned, but also some other important things related to the Event Calendar.
That's right - it is time for Christmas and New Year Discounts! We have presents both for Bitrix Intranet Portal and Bitrix Site Manager users! Learn more about all Bitrix Christmas and New Year 2010 Discounts here...
The release date is set. Again.
Let me give you a couple of highlights on the upcoming Bitrix Intranet Portal release. Bitrix, Inc. is about to make available a new version of Bitrix Intranet Portal, and I can tell you that the product is getting more and more advanced. Recent huge demand on EIP/ECMs and Enterprise 2.0 applications has motivated us to make the product even more business-friendly and flexible. I know that a lot of our partners were very eager to get the v 8.5, but the final release date that was set on November 26th, 2009, had to be shifted for a later time because we decided to include even more new features than it had been planned previously. So, now the official release date is set on December 3rd, 2009 and I do hope that nothing's going to hold us back from releasing it on time.
New modules and features
The following new features will be available in v 8.5 along with other major system updates :
As I mentioned in my previous post , we were planning to make different editions (images) of Bitrix Virtual Appliance. Well, I have really good news for you: Bitrix Virtual Appliance is now available in Amazon EC2 ! All you have to do is simply use your Amazon Web Services™ account, or sign up here and choose the Bitrix Virtual Appliance from the list of free Virtual Machines.
Bitrix Virtual Appliance AMI has the same functionality as Bitrix Virtual Appliance VMWare . It includes Fedora operating system, MySQL5 with InnoDB support, MC File Manager, HTTPS support, NGINX and Zend Server CE support and many other features. Bitrix Virtual Appliance AMI helps you rapidly launch any of the Bitrix Content Management Systems or Intranet Solutions, or any other supported application and to get to work immediately
Hooray! The all new Bitrix Virtual Appliance is there! The Bitrix Virtual Appliance v1.3 is a free and a very reliable product that has been developed especially for PHP applications and is fully compatible with VMware Player. It is based on the new concept of Cloud Computing that is being widely used by a large number of independent software vendors. The Bitrix Virtual Appliance greatly increases speed and productivity of all Bitrix software products and makes the process of installing and deploying more understandable and easy.
But what does Cloud Computing actually mean? The all-knowing Wikipedia defines it the following way: "Cloud computing is a paradigm of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. [...] Cloud computing customers do not generally own the physical infrastructure serving as host to the software platform in question. Instead, they avoid capital expenditure by renting usage from a third-party provider. They consume resources as a service and pay only for resources that they use. Many cloud-computing offerings employ the utility computing model, which is analogous to how traditional utility services (such as electricity) are consumed, while others bill on a subscription basis.[...] Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs."
