Technology to Enable Secure, High Performance File Sharing for Its Broadcast and
Media Customers
ARMONK, N.Y., April 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBM today announced that
Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications and media company, has partnered
with Aspera, an IBM Company to deliver a jointly-built Media networking solution
with global reach that aims to facilitate video contribution and distribution
enabling acceleration and simplification of content workflow in support of the
Multi-platform needs of broadcast and media organizations.
In response to increasing demand for high quality, low latency, highly available
media content, the new Telstra Digital Video Network (DVN) supports an increased
range of media content formats and access requirements including: Linear Video
[4K, HD, SD, ASI, IP], File based media content, Media Data & Itinerant pay-per-
use services. Telstra DVN now provides additional value to customers by
integrating Aspera into the solution, enabling customers to achieve secure, high
performance and reliable media file transfers within their environments, within
the Telstra DVN Media Community and to anywhere in the world.
This groundbreaking convergence of technologies will provide unique benefits to
an extensive customer base and support a wide variety of use cases, including ad
hoc field-based contributions, inter-studio video sharing, inter-company content
sharing and automated file-based workflow processes. The solution will help
organizations manage their real-time and non-real-time video and workflow
requirements.
Aspera will be deployed within a Telstra hosting environment based in Australia
and will be available in two editions of the Managed File Transfer application:
(i) Web Edition; which offers a user interface designed for transfer and sharing
of large files and directories, enabling user-to-user file transfers in a multi-
tenanted environment; and the upcoming (ii) Server Edition, which offers a
deeper workflow integration and supports advanced automated workflow tasks such
as encoding, transcoding, watermarking and content verification.
Boyd Faulkes, Director of Industry Solutions for Telstra Global Products and
Solutions, said the partnership between the two powerful brands will provide the
domestic Media & Entertainment market with a distinctive value proposition.
"Aspera is already a leading technology used in the media community. Together
with DVN's high bandwidth connectivity and unmatched national footprint, it
provides a highly compelling capability," Faulkes said.
