Digital asset management software
-
A lot of people use Spiceworks. But it lacks features that you want. Traditionally we've built our own tools for this at NTG.

GFI Max.

@scottalanmiller Spiceworks manage digital assets?
@Minion-Queen I checked GFI Max and the products they have is Remote Management, Backup, AV, ServicDesk, Mail protection and Archive. Not sure if I am missing something on the asset management side
-
It sounds like you're looking for a file inventory system, not an asset management suite. Am I wrong?
-
SharePoint can do that, though with the types of files you'd be working with, the database would be [Content Removed by Moderator] huge.

The requirement is to upload media contents like images, video etc tag them for easy search. I still didnt get the idea of using spiceworks for this!
Leaning more towards http://resourcespace.org/
I am still checking on other option, but resourcespace does most jobs i guess.

Are you looking to manage digital documents?
-
@Minion-Queen Yes, I am not sure if my requirement list initially was clear. Is it not Digital asset management?

I believe the category you're looking for is Document Management.

@alexntg Just checked about DAM
From Wikipedia: Digital asset management (DAM) consists of management tasks and decisions surrounding the ingestion, annotation, cataloguing, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets. Digital photographs, animations, videos and music exemplify the target areas of media asset management (a sub-category of DAM).[1]
Digital asset management systems (DAMS) include computer software and hardware systems that aid in the process of digital asset management.
The term "digital asset management" (DAM) also refers to the protocol for downloading, renaming, backing up, rating, grouping, archiving, optimizing, maintaining, thinning, and exporting files.
Since the requirement is to upload contents like videos, images, logo etc and manage them, I still think it comes under digital asset management and not document management. Plus as per resourcespace site, which I think best suits the requirement, also describes it.ResourceSpace open source digital asset management software is the simple, fast, & free way to organise your digital assets

Ok, just installed ReSourcespace following the instructions from http://milesjordan.com/install-resourcespace-on-centos-6/
If anyone wants to see a demo, contact me
Will show it to the user and see if this fits his clients requirement.

Sort of, but it is an extremely odd term to use for them. Digital Assets is normally use to mean computers and the like, not files and documents. In any case, it is too general to provide good results. It is purely file and document management that you seek, so no matter how correct digital assets might be it is too broad to be useful. In the way that you are using the term, we could replace the term "filesystem" with "digital asset management system" and you see how confusing that is.
What do you seek that Sharepoint, Alfresco or the filesystem do not provide?
