EMERYVILLE, USA: Aspera Inc., an IBM Company and creators of next-generation software technologies that move the world's data at maximum speed, announced that VHX, a direct-to-fan digital distribution platform for premium video, has deployed Aspera On Demand to quickly and securely transfer full-length feature films and other video content from filmmakers directly into their cloud-based platform, significantly reducing the time it takes to make content available online.

VHX's innovative Platform-as-a-Service enables artists and distributors to market and sell their work on their own websites directly to fans. The cloud-based video distribution and commerce platform offers a comprehensive set of features such as web design, social media integration, audience engagement, search engine and mobile optimization, ecommerce, and analytics that give publishers complete control over the entire video experience.

Integrating Aspera On Demand with the VHX platform has enabled fast and seamless transfers of full resolution media and associated metadata to, from and across cloud-based storage. The Aspera software platform also provides a unique overlay for content security on top of the infrastructure by managing user authentication, content browsing and access control.

Before adopting Aspera, VHX suffered from typical speed and reliability issues associated with large file film uploads, including connection disruptions, failed transfers or timing out. VHX needed a fast and reliable transfer mechanism to ingest video from filmmakers, distribution houses and other media customers so they could take full advantage of the VHX platform.
