Canto releases Cumulus 8

Canto Cumulus 8 Workgroup /Enterprise Editions now available. See the Press release (pdf).

Canto says "Without a doubt, Cumulus 8 is the most exciting new product release to come from Canto in the company's 19-year history. Built on new technologies Canto has been seeding and testing in the product line since Cumulus 7.1, Cumulus 8 not only delivers tons of new features and capabilities today, it solidifies the technological foundation Canto needs to further DAM's evolution in the coming years."

DataBasics is very excited at the release of Cumulus 8 and the new features and functionality that it offers. For a quick Flash demo of the new features visit Canto's website or see Canto's blog.

For the complete list of new features and functions, see What's New in Cumulus 8 pdf (beware = 10.9 MB!).

Pricing and Availability

A new pricelist is available online with revised downward pricing to reflect the better exchange rate - refer Aus Pricelist June 2009 (pdf). As a result, Cumulus is slightly cheaper than in the previous pricelist though the bundling is a bit different. Single User edition is included though not due for release until end of June - more details below.

Cumulus 8 Workgroup and Enterprise editions are available for immediate download for existing Cumulus Workgroup and Enterprise customers who have an existing Software Maintenance contract - from Canto's website using the Customer Portal. You will need your current serial ID - available on your Cumulus License or in your current license letter from DataBasics or your reseller. If you do not have a user ID and password to access the Customer portal, please email Canto directly at info@canto.com

Customers wishing to upgrade without an existing Software Maintenance contract, please call us on 1300 886 238 (within Australia) or email info@databasics.com.au.

DataBasics will be producing Cumulus 8 disks with all the system installers and documentation in July when we receive disk images and graphics etc from Canto. All customers with Software Maintenance Contracts will automatically receive the Cumulus 8 disk either directly from us or from your reseller.

We will also be producing Cumulus 8 DEMO disks at that time.

SINGLE USER Edition

Canto has advised that the long-awaited Single User edition of Cumulus 8 will be released at the end of this month ( June 2009).
