Case Study: MLB Advanced Media streamlines multi-platform video distribution with Aspera Files

MLB Advanced Media deploys Aspera Files for video distribution

MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM), the New York–based technology arm of Major League Baseball, needed to streamline and scale a rapidly growing multi‑platform video distribution business. With increasing volumes of multi‑gigabyte files and strict requirements for speed, security, performance and rapid deployment without heavy IT involvement, MLBAM evaluated solutions to accelerate and simplify media transfers.

MLBAM deployed Aspera Files SaaS, gaining a brandable web interface, scalable high‑speed transfers, secure storage and simple onboarding with no complex network setup. The solution enabled hundreds of multi‑GB uploads per day (up to about 1,500 transfers per week), easier web‑based permission management, faster access to higher‑quality content and a more efficient, reliable distribution operation.
