Aurora Demo: A Turnkey Cloud-Hosted Islandora Solution

If you weren’t able to join us live on November 13th, we’re excited to share the full recording of our Aurora Webinar, where we introduced Aurora, Discovery Garden’s fully cloud-hosted, turnkey instance of modern Islandora.

Aurora delivers the power and flexibility of Islandora in a simple, managed package. Designed to meet the vast majority of our clients’ needs, Aurora offers exceptional value - hosting, maintenance, and support - all included in a single monthly fee. It’s a completely turnkey solution that allows your team to focus on curation, discovery, and preservation, without the complexity of managing infrastructure.
