MediaBin Inc. announced the release of MediaBin WorkPlace and MediaBin Cluster Manager. MediaBin WorkPlace is a collaboration software module that provides a “virtual space” where dispersed teams can collaborate on marketing projects, review images and other collateral without downloading them, set up automated routing for approval, and conduct surveys. Team members are notified by email when their participation is required. MediaBin Cluster Manager enables corporations to link multiple MediaBin servers for increased capacity and reliability. Users see only one central repository, but processing tasks are divided among available servers, providing load balancing. The system also provides automatic failover. www.info.mediabin.com
