Aspera Transforms Large Content Sharing and Collaboration in the Cloud With Aspera Files
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New SaaS Offering Launched at IBC2015 Breaks Previous Barriers to Network-Based
Big Data Sharing and Exchange, Introducing Secure, High-Speed Media Movement
Across Cloud and On-Premises Storage Platforms
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Sept. 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBC2015 Booth
#7.B27 September 11-15, 2015 -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced the availability
of Aspera Files, a new SaaS offering by Aspera, an IBM company, that allows any
organization, small to large, to quickly establish a branded web-based presence
for the fast, easy and secure exchange and delivery of file-based media or data
of any size, over any distance and between end users across separate
organizations, combining cloud and on-premises storage platforms. Built on the
Aspera FASP® transport platform for distance-neutral transfer of extremely large
files and data sets over the Internet, the new service breaks all previous
barriers to enterprise file sharing.
Media companies and enterprises at large are creating more high-resolution
content than ever; with increasingly shorter turnaround times in highly
competitive markets that also depend upon secure inter-company collaboration.
Aspera Files transforms cloud-based content sharing and collaboration by
eliminating the complexities of sharing large files and large directories with
fast and secure transfer of the largest (4K) media formats, digital cinema
packages (DCP) and associated metadata.
Aspera Files unifies Aspera's most advanced core technologies, features and
capabilities into an easy-to-use web application, powered by its latest
generation FASP® high-speed transfer platform that can be adapted and extended
to meet customers' ever-changing data transfer needs, digital workflows,
deployment models, and security requirements.
Offered as a service, customers can quickly and easily deploy and configure
Aspera Files, taking the hassle out of complex network setups and cloud
resources provisioning. Files seamlessly handles sophisticated deployments and
workflows to connect multiple cloud and on-premises storage systems.
The complete technology stack includes:
Web User Interface - Aspera Files delivers a simple and intuitive user
experience within a customizable, company-branded web application to:
* Organize projects under individually brandable "Workspaces" to share and
exchange files within an authorized community of users.
* Immediately share large files and data sets from on-premises storage or any
cloud infrastructure.
* Easily drag and drop to share and exchange any size file or data set
regardless of where the files reside - on premises or in the cloud.
* View shared content automatically in the Workspaces of the target users with
the right security privileges.
* Preview media content in thumbnail view, keyframe grids and playable media.
Multi-tenant Transfer Platform with Autoscale
Files powers the user experience with the latest FASP high-speed transfer
platform that includes the built-in Transfer Cluster Manager with Autoscale
technology.
* The platform provides built-in multi-tenant elastic scaling to meet variable
demand in transfer throughput and storage. The distributed self-scaling
clustering technology automatically:
* Adds new transfer nodes as transfer load increases
* Moves heavily utilized transfer nodes into an unavailable pool
* Spins down surplus nodes when transfer demand subsides
* Customers can deploy additional transfer server instances and storage in
their location of choice, on premises or in the cloud, for additional scale-
out capacity, and complete flexibility and control over where the data
resides.
* Aspera's Direct-to-Cloud technology supports direct cloud storage I/O
transfers to all major cloud platforms through native object storage
programming interfaces that enable the fastest file uploads and downloads
while adding key transfer management features otherwise unavailable, such as
pause, resume, and encryption over the wire and at rest.
* The platform includes a breakthrough distributed content access control
system that enforces content sharing permissions on behalf of content owners
to securely authenticate each end user's access. Content transfers may be
encrypted over the wire and at rest, with optional client-side and server-
side encryption.
Aspera is demonstrating Aspera Files, alongside its entire portfolio of high-
speed file transfer, sharing and exchange solutions at IBC2015 taking place
September 11-15 in Amsterdam, Hall 7, Stand B27.
