IBM Corp.‘ Aspera, the most recent to partner, brings support for FASP transfers and faspex Dropbox capabilities to the AmberFin orchestrated media processing environment. This integration gives AmberFin users accelerated transfer speeds that are hundreds of times faster than standard FTPs as well as the ability to mass distribute media packages to all members of any given faspex dropbox. Accelerated file transfer solutions from Signiant, Inc. and FileCatalyst are next up on the list of planned integrations with AmberFin, and will follow in short order. In addition to the Aspera integration, the latest AmberFin release includes native support for Amazon S3 compatible storage interfaces.

Matthieu Fasani, product manager, AmberFin, Dalet, comments: “Dalet AmberFin not only offers our customers tremendous flexibility in working with any of the major file transport and automated QC vendors, but they can do so with confidence in their media. A tightly orchestrated media workflow enables the trusted, efficient delivery and distribution of their assets. This is especially important for customers currently lacking their own player or mark-up tools for quality control. The integration of these vital steps in the file creation and delivery chain makes Dalet AmberFin the most complete and fluent solution on the market.“

Ensuring compliance and quality, the accelerated transfer solutions are threaded within the firm’s Workflow Engine along with UQC (Unified Quality Control), an industry QC mark representing the best combination of automated and manual content verification.

Under command of the Workflow Engine, supporting solutions from Tektronix, Inc., Interra Systems, Inc., Venera Technologies, VidCheck Ltd., Metaglue Corporation and Nexidia, Inc. provide users a single resource to manually verify content, and to unify and monitor transfer acceleration locked into all transcode and QC operations.
