NetApp Works with ASE to Enable High-Performance Cloud Workflows for Media and Entertainment Industry
July 24 2017 - 8:00AM
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) today announced its collaboration with ASE to
expand the company’s ASE Cloud to the United States, providing
flexible and reliable cloud access for the world’s largest media
and entertainment companies.
The animation, postproduction, and broadcast sectors require
high bandwidth to manage massive HD files, which are often sized 4K
and beyond. In the past, these demands made managing files in the
cloud costly because IT managers had to deal with hefty bandwidth
fees to get the performance they needed.
“We’re entering the U.S. market to allow our media and
entertainment customers to respond faster to market opportunities
through creative channels and to do so without compromising quality
of service,” said Andrew Sjoquist, CEO of ASE.
ASE Cloud is built on NetApp® StorageGRID® Webscale, enabling
ASE to offer object storage at an efficient cost per gigabyte. The
cloud service enables companies to manage and control their data in
a public cloud without data egress fees, all managed through a
simple web portal. This unique cost structure coupled with the
ability to make sure that a high volume of data is accessible
globally makes StorageGRID ideal for media and entertainment
companies, which need rapid access to petabytes of data in a
content repository from anywhere in the world.
“The media and entertainment industry needs to push the limits
of creativity to bring audiences more vivid and realistic images,
without pushing the limits of IT’s budget to manage and maintain
the underlying data,” said Adam Fore, director, Virtualization And
Cloud Solutions Marketing, Infrastructure and Applications at
NetApp. “NetApp, collaborating with ASE Cloud, offers companies a
holistic approach to managing data that is secure, efficient, and
future-proof and provides freedom of choice.”
StorageGRID Webscale is an innovative, scale-optimized data
solution that maximizes control over rich content, enabling secure,
fluid movement. The software-defined object storage solution allows
customers to determine where and how their data is stored,
depending on where it is in the content lifecycle. The solution
also protects customer data with layered erasure coding, which
combines node-level and geo-distributed erasure coding to
efficiently prevent data loss.
ASE Cloud, powered by NetApp, is now available in the United
States.
