The third key feature is real time publishing. This is all about making the publishing process easier and more efficient. The goal is to reduce costs and improve efficiencies particularly for the technology staff. In today's business the need is for getting more done with fewer resources. real time publishing is about simplifying the job for both the business users and the IT staff supporting the content creators.

Using a dashboard view, the new capabilities give deployment staff full control over content publishing at a very detailed level. Because enterprise deployments of Content Server often span dozens of satellite servers (caching servers) spread across geographic regions and countries, error prevention and process recovery is key to ensure successful deployments and a consistent version of the production website.

When I met with Gupta he explained, "We made deployment failsafe. Deployments can be restarted at any point which has increased efficiency more than tenfold." Large amounts of content can now be deployed in less time in a way that is transparent. In addition there is a feature to do on demand publishing of small sections of a site to handle "breaking news" and similar critical, instant deployments.

Also included in this release is enhanced search for both the content management environment and the live website. According to Gupta, "FatWire was designed to do dynamic websites since day one unlike many other content management repositories. It is built to scale both in terms of performance and usability. Recently FatWire participated in a benchmark test where it had to scale and deliver 30-40 million personalized pages a day. It passed with flying colors."

Where search is so important is in usability. Besides scaling for performance, the system needs to scale in a way that business users can find and manage content that may range in the thousands to millions of content elements. You just can't scroll through and browse thumbnails to select an image file to link to when there are thousands of images. Using metadata and advanced search, FatWire is able to search across repositories to meet this need.

FatWire pricing is based solely on server and CPU, not number of users. Pricing for Content Server 7.5 starts at $40,000.
