Content Management: Nuxeo Releases Version 5.1 Of Its Open Source ECM Platform With A focus On SOA, Scalability And Support
Nuxeo, the pioneer and leader of open source ECM (Enterprise Content Management), announces Nuxeo Enterprise Platform 5.1, a new version of its ECM platform. This release is largely distinguished by its service-oriented architecture (SOA), scalability and flexibility. A high level of support is also available - delivering enterprise-grade functional & technical support, certified software patches and updates, and management tools that are available during every stage of the application lifecycle.
An extensible service-oriented architecture
The Nuxeo software is based on the Nuxeo Service Platform (SP), a service platform designed specifically for ECM that manages tasks like storage, indexing, search, security, workflow, archiving and much more. Application developers can access these services by embedding the platform core in their Java applications or through distributed technologies typically found within an SOA development such as Java EE remoting, or SOAP and REST Web Services.
The platform itself is completely extensible because it is built entirely on an infrastructure of plug-ins and extension points based on the OSGi standard. Developers and integrators can easily create custom configurations and extensions by simply creating a set of plug-ins to adapt the platform without having to touch the platform code.
Stefane Fermigier, CEO of Nuxeo says: "Integrators benefit from being able to deliver ECM projects much more quickly and easily, and software developers can use our technologies freely in their applications due to our business-friendly open source licensing."
Nuxeo EP 5.1: enhanced performance and functionality
- Advanced search service: based on the NXQL query language (SQL-based) and a flexible configuration system, it offers comprehensive functions for full-text search and multi-criteria requests.
- Data import/export service: designed to both facilitate migration from legacy systems and to ensure that platform users will never be held hostage by their technology providers.
- Enhanced horizontal scalability: this guarantees a virtually unlimited scalability by cloning and load distribution on the services.
- Electronic and physical records management.
"Nuxeo Service Platform, built on industry standards (such as Java EE 5 and OSGi), offers a complete range of component-based services making it possible to quickly build ECM applications. This SOA approach offers real and tangible benefits to our customers and our partners, software developers and integrators. Nuxeo strengthens its technological advantage, with the help of a dynamic ecosystem, and positions us to inject new energy and innovation into the ECM market," explains Eric Barroca, Executive VP in charge of Operations.
