AEM/CQ5 : AEM 6.5 New features

Top features of AEM 6.5

1. Connected DAM

In a large scale enterprise, there may be two AEM instances running in parallel.
A common scenario where this happens is when one instance is used as an AEM Site Author, executed by the AEM Site Team,
while the second instance is used by the creative team to store assets, referred to as Assets Author instance.
With a connected DAM, Site authors can search, drag & drop, save, and publish assets directly even though the asset is on a different instance. It allows site authors to access from remote AEM assets instance.
A Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform gives you a central hub for organizing, storing, and retrieving rich media.
AEM Sites offer capabilities to create web pages and AEM Assets in the DAM system that supplies the required assets for websites.
AEM now provides the capability to use assets from a connected DAM which is running in a completely different AEM instance.
