DotNetNuke have just released a
press release for the latest DNN5.1 Professional Edition to be released.
Info from press release:
DotNetNuke Professional Edition 5.1 offers support for advanced
Google Analytics functionality, content approval that allows
administrators to create custom workflows, file access permissions that
provide more granular security rights, and file integrity checking that
reviews files in the installation and reports any inconsistencies that
may impact website reliability, as well as network-based health
monitoring that pings the website periodically to identify failures and
notify the site owner, ensuring the site stays in web server memory for
faster user accessibility. It also includes a vulnerability database
that cross references each customer's product version teasily identify
potential issues.
DotNetNuke Professional Edition is also designed for organizations
with high website traffic, offering distributed caching for more
efficient resource usage in web farms. DotNetNuke founder Shaun Walker
explains that the professional edition helps ensure a web application
can handle high traffic scenarios by integrating a caching solution
into the application architecture to keep the most commonly used data
in memory.
"The Microsoft ASP.NET framework (which DotNetNuke is built upon)
provides a basic caching solution but it is limited to a single web
server because it has no built-in capability to synchronize cache items
across multiple web servers," Walker said in a statement. "DotNetNuke
has built an extra layer on top of the ASP.NET caching solution which
allows for web farm synchronization using 3 different approaches:
database polling, file system dependency, and web service. The web
service solution was developed specifically for DotNetNuke Professional
Edition 5.1, and is the optimal solution for serious business
environments."
