Aruna Send New Version and Public Beta Now Live

August 30th, 2007

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.

On to the announcement, today we are promoting the new version of Aruna Send to public beta and anyone is free to try it out… for free of course.

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
To use the new features of Aruna Send you must have an Open ID. Open ID will let you log into many websites with one ID.

More robust back end and storage infrastructure - We will write more about this later

So without further ado, here is the link to try out the new Aruna Send Beta with FREE file storage.

Aruna Send Send Files Facebook Application Upgraded

July 5th, 2007

Today we released an updated version of the Aruna Send Facebook Application. The major change is that you can now send files directly to your Facebook friends OR to any email address.

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!).

We hope you find Aruna URL handy!

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.
