Professional media workflows are moving to the cloud for resource flexibility, content accessibility and CAPEX cost reductions. But moving and managing media files in the cloud is a challenging proposition given the large size of content files and the variations in network connections amongst production team members, vendors and clients. To date, most media organizations have chosen to house and distribute their content from one of the hyper-scale cloud service providers, but these services are typically over-priced and laden with a host of unpredictable charges for things like API calls and content retrieval. Fortunately, best-of-breed solutions are now available from technology partners to rapidly move content to the cloud, store it as long as needed, and distribute it across the globe without breaking the bank or becoming locked-in to a service like those from AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google.

Signiant, Limelight and Wasabi Deliver Superior Price/Performance Ratio for Cloud Media Services

To overcome the challenges of transferring media assets to the cloud, Signiant, Limelight, and Wasabi have created a joint solution to provide customers with a fast, secure, and scalable method of data transfer. Signiant Media Shuttle is the most popular solution amongst professional media organizations for accelerated media file transfers. Limelight provides a suite of edge compute offerings in strategically located Points of Presence (PoPs) across the globe and integrated with one of the world’s largest private networks. Wasabi is the hot cloud storage company delivering low-cost, fast and reliable cloud storage that is 80% cheaper than Amazon S3.

The combined solution streamlines the ingest of content from customers and partners while enabling effortless sending and sharing of content to colleagues and customers around the world.
