Case Study: PERFORM achieves automated, scalable processing of 20,000+ media files per day with Aspera Orchestrator (Aspera)

Workflow Automation for Digital Content Management

PERFORM is a leading sports media company that distributes clips and full-match video to broadcasters and digital platforms worldwide. As video consumption surged, the company faced complex, disparate workflows and unpredictable spikes in data and processing demand that strained compute resources and limited its ability to manage, transcode, and deliver high volumes of content efficiently.

PERFORM implemented Aspera Orchestrator as a single, automated workflow manager that routes content, triggers the correct transcoding pipelines, and bursts workloads to the cloud with Aspera On Demand when on‑premises thresholds are reached, then delivers outputs via high‑speed FASP transfers. The solution ingests and transcodes over 20,000 files daily across 1,000+ transcode combinations, automates decisions to reduce cycle times and human error, and provides full monitoring, automatic rerouting, and reliable on‑time delivery to customers.
