Signiant Adds Workflow and Business Intelligence Enhancements to Award-Winning Media Shuttle(TM) File Sharing Solution
BURLINGTON, MA, Jan 16, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Signiant, the market leader in intelligent file movement software
for the media and entertainment industry, today announced several
enhancements to its award-winning Media Shuttle hybrid SaaS file
sharing solution. The new features further expand its capabilities
for media enterprises grappling with the challenge of delivering
large videos or other massive files fast, easily and securely over
private networks and the public Internet.
Recently deemed a "standout solution among available accelerated file
transfer options" and winner of the 2012 "Best of IBC" Award,
Signiant's Media Shuttle has seen broad market adoption as the
simplest, most affordable way for media professionals to move large
files. Since the patent-pending software debuted six months ago,
Media Shuttle is now used by large broadcasters, Hollywood production
companies, media service providers and post-production facilities in
every major market.
"With Media Shuttle, we have the ease of use and flexibility of a
cloud-based solution, but files arrive directly on a server sitting
on our premises, which cuts delivery time in half compared to other
products on the market," said George Rizkallah, founder and CEO of
The Product Factory, a Burbank-based creator of animation TV shows.
"As a subscription-based solution, Media Shuttle also lets us avoid
sizable capital outlays. After working for years with customers like
Marvel and NFL Films who routinely send us large digital files using
Signiant's solutions, it's a delight to be able to access all of the
key capabilities of Signiant in an affordable, easy to use tool like
Media Shuttle."
With software deployed in the cloud, Signiant is able to deliver
continual enhancements to users without the typical hassles of
software upgrades. Available immediately, the latest enhancements
include:
-- On-Ramp to Automated Workflows. Media Shuttle administrators can now
configure their branded file transfer portals to deliver content
directly to a network folder, providing an instant on-ramp to
automated file-based workflow operations, such as virus checking or
transcoding. These workflows can be driven by Signiant's own powerful
Managers+Agents(TM) software for secure, automated system-to-system
file movement, or any third-party workflow process.
-- Cloud-based APIs. Media Shuttle cloud APIs enable Signiant customers
to gain management intelligence on file transfer processes for
business analytics or to drive billing, content tracking, compliance
and audit systems. For example, a media company could use the data to
develop a report identifying a list of users by department and files
transferred for internal chargeback.
The newest addition to Signiant's portfolio of accelerated file
transfer solutions, Media Shuttle provides an effective alternative
to FTP and public file sharing solutions -- without associated file
size constraints or security risks. Media Shuttle's hybrid SaaS
architecture lets users access fast file transfer capabilities
through a simple interface in the cloud while maintaining the file
cache within the secure control of their own network. Unlike other
solutions, Media Shuttle gives IT the power to determine where
content is stored -- on private networks or in the cloud -- and how
network resources should be allocated for maximum enterprise
efficiency. A flexible subscription-based pricing model makes Media
Shuttle the ideal solution for project-based initiatives or
enterprises looking to scale for demand.
The latest enhancements to Signiant's Media Shuttle are available
immediately in both Media Shuttle versions: Media Shuttle Standard
Edition, a downloadable single-portal solution for project teams up
to 50; and Media Shuttle Enterprise Edition, a multi-portal solution
scalable to thousands of users with features for delegated
administration, storage management and server load balancing to
ensure optimal performance across multiple file transfer portals.
