Aspera Enterprise Server for Isilon IQ

High-Performance Content Delivery Solution



The Need for High-Performance, Reliable and Scalable Content Delivery

There's a breakthrough brewing in the industry, poised to move massive amounts of digital content across any network, to any end-point. Files of any type: video, audio, images, gaming or other rich media types or any size, can now rapidly transfer across any network, scaling to the speeds growing businesses demand. Media and entertainment companies creating large quantities of digital content often need to distribute and deliver digital assets, on-demand, when business demands. Unfortunately, companies face network and storage constraints, limiting the speed and reliability of current content delivery systems. Traditional WAN optimization and storage systems suffer from scalability limitations. That means file transfers need to be scheduled during off-peak hours. Still, with this traditional single-system approach, creative talent, partners, and end-customers often endure costly business delays, waiting on simple file transfers.

The Aspera and Isilon Solution for High-Performance Content Delivery

Aspera and Isilon Systems have partnered to create the first high-performance, reliable, and scalable content delivery solution, designed specifically for Isilon clustered storage. Aspera Enterprise Server for Clustered Storage, a new software application running directly on Isilon clustered storage, provides a cluster-aware version of Aspera high-speed file transfer technology. When combined with Isilon's IQ clustered storage platform, the solution provides rapid, reliable, and scalable content delivery, directly from clustered storage.
