New York, NY October 15, 2007 -- Industrial Color, the leader in digital photo capture and online workflow software, today announced a technology partnership with Aspera Inc., the leader in high-speed file transfer technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Industrial Color will integrate Aspera's fasp(TM) high-speed file transfer technology into its GLOBALedit(TM) professional online image management and workflow software, dramatically improving the transfer speed of large image files between remote groups. Available in Q4 2007, the joint solution removes an important technical barrier and gives professional creative teams fast, global access to massive photo libraries.

Professional photography is rapidly moving to a completely digital workflow in which photos are captured, edited, reviewed, approved and delivered digitally. GLOBALedit is a professional image management system that provides global online access to massive photo libraries along with a suite of workflow tools that allows users to review and collaborate with the images. This time-critical process has been plagued by delays due to the fact that these images are often very large files that need to travel long distances over a variety of network environments.

Creative companies and groups need to quickly move large files (and large collections of files) over long distances in a secure and reliable manner to increase efficiencies and compress time in the digital production process. "Content needs to be quickly and easily accessible. Customers want to get to work. They don't want to have to wait for the files," said Steve Kalalian, president of Industrial Color. "Industrial Color is very excited to be able to offer our customers the industry's best high speed file transfer technology. We are confident that the removal of this major bottleneck will further stimulate the adoption of digital image workflow technology."

Aspera's fasp high-performance data transfer technology dramatically speeds transfers over public and private IP networks. The approach achieves optimal bandwidth efficiency and control. With Aspera's technology, file transfer times can be guaranteed, regardless of the distance of the endpoints or the dynamic conditions of the network. Complete security is built-in, including secure endpoint authentication, on-the-fly data encryption, and integrity verification.

"There is an obvious, natural synergy between our two companies," said Michelle Munson, president and co-founder of Aspera. "By integrating Aspera's high-speed file transfer technology directly into GLOBALedit's best-of-class photo workflow tools, the photographer and creative team are freed up to focus on their jobs and creativity."

About Aspera

Aspera's suite of products solve the fundamental problems of transferring bulk data (files, directories of files, and generally any large data sets) over the Internet and private IP networks. Aspera’s fasp™ transport technology eliminates the bottlenecks of conventional file transfer technologies and dramatically speeds file transfers, even over inherently unreliable international, satellite, and wireless links. Because transfer speed automatically adapts to use the available bandwidth and protect other traffic while also allowing the user to pre-set and change on-the-fly individual transfer priorities, speeds, and finish times as needed, Aspera technology is becoming a ‘standard’ for digital content transfer by delivering dramatic savings in time and cost. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Aspera creates innovative high-speed data transport technologies for use by major Hollywood studios, broadcasters, post houses, on-demand video providers, computer game makers, software developers, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, defense contractors and government agencies.
