IBM(NYSE:IBM) has announced that Spuul has deployed Aspera to quickly upload high-definition video content to its streaming portal. By significantly reducing the time it takes to upload Bollywood films, TV shows and other licensed video, Spuul can expand its programming options and quickly deliver new content to its millions of worldwide subscribers.
With Aspera on Demand, Spuul immediately tripled the daily volume of video content uploaded and processed from its distribution partners from eight TV shows to 25 and now receives more than 40GB of new HD video content each day. The patented Aspera technology makes it faster and easier for content distributors to upload HD videos through the Spuul platform. Aspera overcomes performance bottlenecks inherent in today’s online networks to help clients like Spuul reduce the time it takes to securely transfer large files or data sets by up to 99.9 per cent, regardless of distance.
"Aspera was the only fast, secure and reliable way for Spuul and its content partners to deliver fresh programming content to meet our subscriber demands," said Michael Smith, Chief Product Officer, Spuul. "With Aspera, we can quickly expand our online library of TV shows and feature films without delay or bottlenecks, which will help us continue to grow our subscriber base and offer fresh compelling content on an ongoing basis."
"No matter where content is created, where it lives, or how it is ultimately consumed, Aspera can help businesses move that content where it needs to go faster and more reliably than any other solution," said Jay Migliaccio, Director, Aspera.
This announcement is the latest example of how Aspera's patented, award-winning platform transforms the file-transfer experience. IBM recently used Aspera's technology to launch the company's "Made with IBM" campaign, enabling the global production team to quickly share thousands of extremely large media files to support more than 50 launch commercials.
