We have been working hard on getting a new release and new features ready for you. There have been many requested features and we always try hard to make them all happen. So if your feature is not included, we may be considering it in the near future.

Here are the new features:

Free File Storage - My Files Tab
Yes, free storage that doesn’t expire (as long as you continue to use the service, you must log in every six months to keep your account active). Upload and store your files and and organize them within folders.

Sent Files History
Now you can see the history of the files you have sent to people through Aruna Send. Easily re-send files that were sent before (assuming they are within their expiry)

Extended Aruna Send file expiry
Logged in users sent files now have a 14 day expiry period (instead of 7 days for the free version). In addition there is a new “Copy to Storage” feature where you can copy any of your sent files over to your file storage area. This means you can keep those files and re-send them as many times as you wish.

Increased Aruna Send File sizes – Now send files up to 150 MB

Sharing
You can also easily share files that are in your online storage with the provided links to easily post on the web, forums etc.

Open ID

New Aruna IM Release - Web Conferencing

August 17th, 2007

Today we are releasing the next version of Aruna IM. The development team has been working hard to make many small improvements and it shows. Things are working very well and we are happy to introduce a major new feature. Web Conferencing.

Originally, we found that clients and companies using Aruna IM needed to have employees inside their company chatting in a secure manor. That has been solved by Aruna IM and has helped communication and efficiencies within the company. But what to do if you want to chat with a client, a vendor, a temp, a consultant, a supplier or any other third party? You don’t really want to provision an ID on the system for them for both security and management reasons. How do you chat with them easily?

Or what if you want to have a group chat and share some files with a few people involved on a disparate project team? Some people are inside the company and some are in USA and some in Europe, what to do now?

Aruna IM will allow you to create and send a web link to your conference participants, which will direct them to a web page to chat to you and the conference members. It can also be password protected for privacy if you like. And as with the regular Aruna IM, your chat sessions are always secure and encrypted.

The web chat also logs into your history to the server for compliance and regulatory reasons so your legal and compliance departments can remain happy! There is a even a file sharing capability so you can share files internally AND externally during your conferences and chat sessions.

If your company is looking for a corporate instant messaging solution that is secure BOTH inside and outside your company, let us introduce you to Aruna IM.

(Existing customers will be upgraded to the new version automatically)

Aruna URL Facebook Application is Live!

June 6th, 2007

Many of you will have heard the buzz lately about the new Facebook F8 platform. Why all the fuss? you may ask. Facebook is the fastest growing social networking application on the net with 25 million users and over 100,000 new users per day. Yes, you read that right, 100,000 new users every single day. This platform is amazing in several ways but mostly because it is unique in the ability to share information with people’s ‘natural’ networks (i.e. their real friends).

The big news in the last couple of weeks was the opening up of their platform and technology. Now applications can be integrated with Facebook and we are here to offer the new Aruna URL Facebook application.


Current Features

Aruna URL Facebook app is there for when you are using facebook and want to make a short link / URL. Maybe you have a long link that is unwieldy that you would like to share, email or message to your friends or co-workers. Aruna URL will be standing by right inside of facebook for you to make that short link.

Add to Facebook

To add Aruna URL to Facebook:

1. Sign into Facebook
2. Click on the button below:

Add to facebook

We have several new features planned for Aruna URL Facebook, you will get the upgrades automatically as they are implemented (assuming you have Aruna URL added in Facebook!).

Aruna email Disaster Recovery and Secure off-site backups

June 4th, 2007

We just wanted to tell you about one of the many pieces of our disaster recovery plans for Aruna email. It is obviously not likely that any emergency plans are executed but that is what they are plans, just in case.

First, the data on your Aruna email is on a redundant disk array. If drives fail then the other ones take over and nothing is lost. In addition to this, we make sure your Aruna email data is backed up twice daily to a secondary source inside the same datacenter. Lastly, we do daily off-site backups to our servers in a datacenter that is physically separated to the main Aruna servers. Of course this data is first encrypted before being sent over to our other datacenter.

We just want to make sure you are aware that we are ready for the worst case scenario and / or disasters. No matter what happens we will make sure your corporate email data is kept safe, secure and available to you.
