Las Vegas, NV (January 08, 2008) -- Michelle Munson, President and Founder of Aspera, Inc., a software company developing breakthrough high speed file transfer technology used widely for the transfer of digital content, will join a panel of industry leaders from EMC, OpenTV, Sun Microsystems, Technicolor, and IBM to discuss the future of multiplatform content delivery at the International Consumer Electronics Show, Digital Hollywood Event in Las Vegas on Wednesday January 9, 2008.

Entitled Enabling Multiplatform Delivery of Content: Broadband, DTV, IPTV & Mobile - Implications of Expanded Bandwidth and Near to Unlimited Storage, the panel will focus on the new digital content supply chain that ties together content originators, advertisers, service providers and consumers. The discussion will strive to further detail the opportunities to expand production and availability of digital content as a result of high-bandwidth networks and inexpensive, nearly unlimited storage. Panelists will debate the practical obstacles to successful utilization of these resources and new technology solutions.

Aspera’s fasp technology removes these limitations. Given available bandwidth, it guarantees file delivery times, independent of network distance or conditions for efficiencies 100X or more over standard protocols like FTP, and for the first time enables the prioritization of bandwidth used from the transfer endpoint.

“Aspera’s transport technology is uniquely designed to guarantee certain end-to-end delivery priorities and provide ‘dials’ as needed in order to sell priority delivery through managed bandwidth control - this is a brand new concept for content delivery in media-centric organizations, and is one of the basic technologies service providers need to offer differentiated service levels in delivering media files to consumers,” added Munson.

Adopted throughout the industry, broadcasters, Hollywood studios, production facilities, content delivery networks (CDN’s) and game developers depend on fasp to move their files and are integrating the platform into their media creation, management, and distribution systems.
