NAB SHOW Booth # N6631 — Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, has capped off tremendous momentum in the Media and Entertainment (M&E) industry with a new technology alliance partnership with Signiant, the market leader in intelligent file transfer software, to enable accelerated transfer of media assets and associated metadata from customer locations into and out of Wasabi hot cloud storage.
Few industries generate as much data as M&E, given the sheer amount of digital content being produced at higher resolutions than ever before. In sports, there is an unprecedented amount of game day footage being captured along with graphics, pre-recorded segments and analytics, all of which must be delivered as fast as possible to maximize fan engagement. The rise of remote production teams driven by the COVID pandemic also requires ultra-fast media delivery on a global scale with best-in-class security.
By leveraging the power of Wasabi hot cloud storage and Signiant intelligent file transfer, joint users can rapidly ingest content files of any size into low-cost cloud storage and distribute content out to stakeholders located anywhere in the world with the least delay and complete reliability. Signiant’s patented file acceleration technology practically eliminates latency, taking advantage of all available bandwidth without restrictions while Wasabi eliminates the complexity and expense of other cloud storage services by not charging for data egress, API calls and other data management actions. Wasabi is further expanding its strategic relationship with Signiant beyond supporting Media Shuttle to now include support for Signiant Jet for automated rapid transfer and syncing of media files between supply chain endpoints and Wasabi.

“As the M&E industry leverages the cloud to meet these modern challenges head on, it’s critical to control project costs while also giving production teams a high-performance, flexible, and secure solution to get the job done,” said Greg Baumhover, Direct of Global Partnerships at Signiant. “Not only does Wasabi deliver fast write and read performance, its simple and transparent pricing allows M&E companies to do more with less and now with Signiant Jet teams can move assets to the cloud at blazing speeds.”
Wasabi is purpose-built for M&E
