Globecast Uses Aspera to Speed Global Content Submissions and Deliveries
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FASP(R) High-Speed Transfer Technology Improves Speed and Experience for
Globecast and Its Clients Worldwide
ARMONK, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced
that Globecast, the global solutions provider for media, has deployed high-speed
file transfer solutions from Aspera, an IBM company. The technology has been
deployed to further improve the speed and reliability of large media file
submissions from global customers as well as deliveries to multiple worldwide
distribution channels.
Globecast operates Media Centres in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Singapore. It
provides market-leading global connectivity via satellite and fibre including
12 teleports. Customers send their video content to one of the four Media
Centres for media management, playout and distribution around the world. In many
regions, customers are faced with sluggish Internet connections with high
latency, making file submissions problematic using traditional transfer
technologies like FTP.
To support the growing global demand for their services, Globecast initially
deployed Aspera Enterprise Servers and Clients so broadcasters, studios, post-
production houses and ad agencies could submit their large media files quickly
and easily. Once ingested, content is edited, sent through quality control,
adapted to comply with local regulations and delivered via Aspera for
transmission by local cable or regional satellite providers. Additionally, files
are transcoded into multiple formats, resolutions and bitrates before delivery
to video on demand (VOD) or over-the-top (OTT) distribution channels, and may
also be sent to post-production houses for further versioning.
Based on this early success, Globecast expanded its Aspera deployment, upgrading
its bandwidth license and adding high-availability configuration to each server.
"File delivery is such a key part of our operations that we cannot afford any
delay, as it would have a domino effect on our workflow," said Shakunt Malhotra,
VP of engineering and technical operations at Globecast.
"Aspera enables comprehensive bandwidth management and prioritization of
transfers, giving Globecast complete control over the transfer environment. The
solution also provides reliability and ease of use for Globecast's global
clients who depend on getting their files to Globecast's media hubs in a timely
manner," said John Wastcoat, VP of business development at Aspera.
Aspera will be demonstrating its full portfolio of high-speed file transfer and
sharing applications at IBC 2015, Hall 7 Stand B27.
