KnowledgeTreeLive Architecture Webinar and Storage, Language Pack Updates

I recently participated in a webinar conducted by rPath as part of their Webinar Series. The webinar focussed on how we had built out KnowledgeTreeLive, our on-demand document management software, using Amazon’s EC2 and virtual appliances. rPath have a recording of the webinar available on their website.

On the subject of KnowledgeTreeLive, we’ve increased the amount of storage each user is allowed to 10GB, making the total minimum storage available to an account 50GB! We’ve also added several language packs to KnowledgeTreeLive: French, German, Spanish, Catalan and Simplified Chinese.

rPath’s blurb for the webinar follows:

On this webinar COO Daniel Chalef explains how the company strategically used the combination of scalable, virtual infrastructure from Amazon EC2 and virtual appliances to offer KnowledgeTreeLive as a hosted solution. You’ll learn how the company:

• Saved time by using rPath technology to build its virtual appliance format;
• Saved money by avoiding the need to build its own hosted datacenter infrastructure and to re-architect its software for multi-tenancy; and
• Increased its marketshare potential in the crowded space of document management products with a competitive, on-demand offering.

Guest speaker Phil Wainewright, strategist for emerging software industry trends and author of the ZDNet Software as Services blog, also presents his independent perspective on virtual appliances as a fast and cost-effective route to market for SaaS.
