Case Study: BASE Media Cloud achieves fast, secure global media distribution with Aspera Files (Aspera)

BASE Media Cloud with Aspera Files delivers fast, reliable & easy to use services to its broadcast customers

BASE Media Cloud, a UK virtual managed service provider, needed to solve rising volumes of high‑quality media moving through production and delivery while keeping costs low and workflows simple for non‑technical users. Broadcasters and agencies required a pay‑as‑you‑go, secure solution that could handle terabyte‑scale transfers and global distribution without complex provisioning or heavy capital expenditure.

BASE Media Cloud adopted IBM Aspera Files SaaS to deliver a branded hybrid‑cloud platform that wraps secure storage with an easy web interface, content‑access keys, drag‑and‑drop sharing and no file‑size or speed limits (Aspera FASP). The platform was rolled out for Aurora Media to support the FIA Formula E Championship, delivering multiple terabytes of HD content to global broadcasters (FOX, CNN, Eurosport, ITV), meeting tight deadlines, enabling self‑service administration, and providing fast, reliable, secure media distribution — earning industry recognition.
