FACT SHEET NUXEO

AN ELEGANT PLATFORM FOR

RICH CONTENT

FLEXIBLE. EXTENSIBLE. SCALABLE.

Modern organizations face new challenges to address the core changes that are fundamentally disrupting ECM today.

We have identified 3 maintransformations in content management:

Nuxeo Platform

ECM

Content is now complex, structured objects, and not flat metadata sets

• Data models are faceted and constantly evolving

• Content lives in complex objects with dynamic, nested properties;

• Workflows are dynamic, adaptive processes

The content types and delivery channels variety is increasing exponentially:

• Pictures, videos are becoming core to many applications

• Content delivery channels are very varied (mobile devices, cloud apps)

Content is now a magnitude larger in size and throughput:

• From 1M to 1B content objects

• Mobile and ubiquitous network access

• High definition media files makes average item size increase tenfold

HIGH LEVEL SERVICES

High Level Services

Query and Search

Our query engine is backed by Elasticsearch. This enables advanced search features like faceted search and computation capabilities.

Desktop Sync

Client that enables bidirectional synchronization of content between the local desktop and the Nuxeo content repository.

Workflow

An integrated workflow engine with a full-featured graphical designer to define custom workflows and processes.

Data Visualization

A toolkit for web developers to build custom analytic dashboards.

Conversion Services

Define the automatic creation of additional renditions of imported digital assets as desired.

Live Connect

Native integration of the Platform with cloud-based file sharing platforms, such as Google Drive and Dropbox.

CLOUD NATIVE

Cloud Native

Cloud Apps Connectors

Live Connect allows you to create a content application that handles cloud files as if they were local files (Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, Box...). Files remain in the cloud but they are referenced in the Nuxeo repository as if they were stored within it.

This allows your users to benefit from thumbnailing service, full text, conversions, etc. We also have several other connectors to main cloud applications like Salesforce.com or Adobe Creative Suite.

Cloud Deployment

Nuxeo supports deep integration with cloud deployment infrastructures like Amazon Web Services and Azure:

• Natively stores files in AWS S3 or Azure Blobs • Supports data persistence in AWS RDS and Azure

SQL DB • Support dynamic auto-scaling all subsystems

independently (front-end, query engine, background processing)

• Deep monitoring with CloudWatch or Datadog • Automate deployment with CloudFormation or

Ansible • Accelerates download securely with AWS

CloudFront or Azure CDN

In addition we also offer pre-backed images for EC2, Azure and Docker.

PERFORMANCE

PerformanceHybrid SQL-NoSQL architecture with Elasticsearch as unified, native query engine and SQL DB or MongoDB as data persistence layer

The Nuxeo Platform supports the most demanding content-focused applications with outstanding enterprise scale and processing speed that outperforms existing systems by an order of magnitude:

• Massive scalability using either NoSQL (MongoDB) or relational database (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc.)

• 1 billion documents benchmarked on a single cluster

• 6,000 queries per second benchmarked on a single cluster

• Up to 14,000 documents processed per second on a single MongoDB-backed cluster

Performance at Big Data ScaleIf your organization needs to load and manage giant content volumes or throughput, Nuxeo has got you covered!

The Nuxeo Platform natively supports MongoDB as an exceptionally fast, scalable content store:

• Handles huge bulk imports and persistence of content, to the tune of hundreds of millions of documents

• Supports heavy concurrent read/write operations, such as versioning and frequent content imports/updates

• Benchmarked at 5x faster bulk import of content and 15x faster document processing over the fastest-performing SQL database implementation

• Optionally stores files into GridFS or an object store

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

MEDIA & ASSET MANAGEMENT

Media & Asset ManagementDigital asset management has come a long way from the photo libraries of the past. Digital assets are now core components of your business. To provide the greatest value, your digital asset management solution must adapt to your business environment and connect with other content in your organization.

Asset Capture and Batch Import

Capture is handled by simple or batch upload of media assets with configurable and automated extraction and application of media metadata supporting IPTC and EXIF standards. Bulk tagging is an easy way to assign metadata to assets.

Video Storyboarding

On import, video storyboards are automatically created, with a series of thumbnails that segment the contents of a video file. Chapters can be viewed individually, and the video streaming feature offers instant viewing access.

Access Rights

Control sharing and access to assets with Access Control Lists (ACLs), authentication, user sources, and user groups. Protect the use of external media assets with granular access controls, and identify licensed content. You can also monitor and log asset usage with audit history.

Annotations

Annotate images and pictures assets directly from the browser, enabling online collaboration. Zoom in and zoom out on graphic items to comment on detailed views. You can navigate from annotation to annotation for quick comment review.

…

Media & Asset ManagementNavigation, Search, Preview

Users can navigate through asset lists, through metadata categories, apply category filters. Dynamic filtering on multiple facets, or metadata, is available, and navigation facets are fully configurable, and can be defined independently for a given asset type. Content can be viewed in thumbnail mode with zoom in / zoom out. Full-text search includes annotations and captions.

Supported Formats

The Nuxeo Platform supports a wide range of popular media formats for images, audio and video files using proper metadata extraction and conversion. The metadata extraction and conversion framework is highly extensible making it extremely easy to add any new converter. View the complete list of supported formats in our documentation.

Renditions

Easily create multiple renditions during the ingestion process and manage a range of resolutions, sizes, formats in consistent and connected way. Each rendition has its own unique URL for simple and accurate distribution and review.

Configurable Content Model

Power users can quickly define a content model for the specific application needs, with custom metadata and controlled vocabularies for content description and discovery.

STRUCTURED CONTENT AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
