Aspera integrates Encoding.com with its Orchestrator platform for enhanced digital workflow automation
Aspera’s fasp high-speed file transport supports Encoding.com’s services
San Francisco, CA(12 Aug 2013)
Encoding.com, the world’s largest video processing service and provider of Vid.ly, the universal video URL platform, today announced its integration with Orchestrator, a leading web-based workflow management platform from Aspera, creators of next-generation software technologies that move the world’s data at maximum speed.
As an increasing amount of long-form, HD video content is moving online, there is a growing demand for a solution to support the transfer and processing of these large files. Aspera’s fasp high-speed transfer platform enables the high-speed transfer of full-resolution mezzanine files and metadata to Encoding.com’s cloud-based platform. This enables the elastic scalability of video processing jobs including transcoding, programmatic editing, digital rights management, adaptive bitrate packaging and more -- all while vastly accelerating project time-cycles. The new Aspera plug-in for Encoding.com delivers full automation and orchestration of file-based workflows across on-premise and in-cloud infrastructure while eliminating the need to pre-provision and maintain computing and storage infrastructure. Together, Aspera and Encoding.com offer an extremely fast and seamless workflow.
“Aspera’s products continue to address a huge pain point in the video ecosystem -- moving large files around the public Internet,” said Jeff Malkin, President of Encoding.com. “We’re already leveraging Aspera’s ultra-high speed file transfer capability for our encoding services, so this integration into a key workflow management system makes perfect sense for our customers.”
Aspera’s fasp ultra-high-speed file transport technology sits seamlessly behind Encoding.com’s services, providing the fastest and most secure ingest, processing and delivery in the industry. Addressing the need for exponentially higher transport speeds, fasp removes the inherent bottlenecks and slow transfer rates of traditional TCP-based transport methods.
Customers such as Viacom, Aol, Scripps and Discovery Communications trust Encoding.com’s dynamic and highly scalable video processing platform, which features ultra-fast encoding, a pay-as-you-go service structure, support for all video formats, and proprietary Encoding Intelligence for accelerating video processing.
