Re: [Avid-L2] File transfers?

 

I just had a demo today from Signiant.   Seems like they've got their act together now- used to suck, but pretty good now.  'Media shuttle' could be good for you.  I've used it from the client side a few times and it's easy and as fast and reliable as Aspera- but without the bogus 'bandwidth' charges on the server side. For small business it's about $6k a year license- negotiable, I think- for a limited number of users.
Over simplifying, it's udp transfer with tcip control and checking, mostly done in a browser.  No file size limit, no cloud storage- just point-to-point.  You need an Internet facing Windows or Linux server- similar to if you set up an in-house ftp server,  and as much bandwidth as you can get.

Maybe you're looking for a company to do the transfer, but if I were looking to move files like that, and I had the bandwidth, I'd try signiant.  I thin you can even set up a 'push' situation where you can use your license to transfer to an unattended (but configured) client machine, rather than the client having to actively 'download.'

There's also a company with a similar product we looked at a few years ado- Airship?  Don't remember much about it.   Aspera works great, of course, but I hate their pricing model.

I've just taken on my first client who wants to send finished files --
about 22 programs a month at 30+GB each -- back and forth between
Australia and Japan.

I know this comes up from time to time, but what are the good (fast and
cheap?) services to accomplish this? Any advice appreciated!
