Bitrix Site Manager News & Articles

With all websites increasingly under attack, Bitrix (news, site) ups the defences with a new security system for its users.

The upgrade to Bitrix’s Virtual Appliance for Amazon EC2 from 1.4 to 1.5 adds a number of improvements that the company says will enhance the user performance of its content management and enterprise content management software.

With a whole pile of pre-configured settings to nip any software compatibility issues in the bud, Bitrix (news, site) says the new release will speed up all the processes and increase the performance of all the components through its built-in mechanisms.

This version allows users to install Bitrix Site Manager and Bitrix Intranet Portal, or any other applications that use the PHP platform, quicker and more efficiently than previous versions. It also includes the most recent version of the Bitrix web environment with optimized memory usage.

It is protected by both Amazon EC2 security settings and by an integrated firewall which is set up automatically. It also now supports all three data center location regions -- US Standard, US N. California, EU -- Ireland -- after recent EC2 development.

However, that is not all you get. It also comes with the beta release of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Device) customized for Bitrix users giving them 1TB of back-up power for web projects and intranet portals.

Bitrix’s Virtual Appliance is free to download once you have logged in to Amazon Web Services.

Hooked on Microsoft or just tied into ASP.NET? Bitrix (news, site) comes to your aid with its new Site Manager CMS in just your flavor.

Another sign that SaaS is the future of content management -- or at least a big part of that future. Bitrix (news, site), provider of web content management and portal solutions, has partnered with Parallels to offer their solutions in a software-as-a-service model. Even better, that SaaS model will be "On Demand" utilizing Parallel's open Application Packaging Standard (APS™) hosting.

The Professional Edition of Bitrix Site Manager just got an added advantage — two new language packs.

French and German have now been added to Bitrix Site Manager by way of collaboration. Bitrix worked with Erne Consulting AG and Stark-iT to bring the new versions of Site Manager to market.

Erne Consulting is a customer of Bitrix. Their primary language — French — was not available when they selected the Web CMS for their own portal. So they went to work translating it, obviously with the assistance of Bitrix because now it’s available in French to all customers.

The same resolution came about for the German version of the Web CMS. This time through the efforts of Start-iT, a Bitrix partner. They independently translated both the front-end and back-end of Site Manager. “Our extensive work on the localization will continue to keep the German pack up-to-date,” said Igor Stark, CEO of Stark-iT.

You can test the new languages in the Virtual Lab or download a trial. These language packs apply to the latest version of Site Manager — version 7 — just released in July.

Web CMS vendor Bitrix announced new editions of Bitrix Site Manager for managing enterprise portals, media portals, large e-stores and other sites with high traffic or content volume.

You can now choose from the Bitrix Site Manager Premium or Ultimate Editions — both touted as “robust and proven technology frameworks.”

Just like that certain city that never sleeps, Bitrix hardly takes a break. Shortly after the recent release of a new version of its Site Manager, Bitrix is in the news again. This time, the CMS vendor announces the addition of Media Player to its WCM platform, which will enable customers to embed video and audio streams into their web sites.

Not happy to sit idle, Bitrix has released another new version of it’s Site Manager Content Management System. Version 7 promises even more Web 2.0 capabilities and boasts a multi-lingual platform that is stable and secure.
