Ooyala and Aspera Collaborate to Provide High Speed Video File Delivery

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Ooyala, a leading online video provider, announced today it has reached an
agreement with Aspera, creator of next-generation high-speed file transfer
software, to integrate Aspera technology with Ooyala's video publishing solution
for their shared clientele. Ooyala customers, using the Backlot video platform
can now easily leverage Aspera's software to quickly upload large files directly
to the Backlot content management system for ingestion, transcoding, management,
publishing, and monetization.

This integrated workflow will decrease the time to market and time to
monetization for Ooyala/Aspera customers who need to transfer large media files
over long distances to the Ooyala platform. Using the combined technologies,
uploads will be significantly faster and users will be able to rely on Aspera`s
bulletproof security, transfer automation capabilities, automatic resume of
partial or failed transfer, comprehensive bandwidth control and protection of
other network traffic. Existing Aspera customers simply use their software to
upload to Aspera. With the integration, the video content will automatically
appear in Backlot.

"This is a workflow simplifier. We are pleased to be working with Aspera, which
has become the industry standard in media file transfer. Our large media
customers as well as medium size video businesses hoping to streamline their
workflow will find this service to be invaluable," says Belsasar Lepe, Ooyala
Co-founder and Lead Engineer.

For the past few weeks, a handful of Ooyala customers have successfully
transferred hundreds of 2-4 GB video files. Aspera's proprietary fasp technology
is a high-performance alternative to traditional FTP file transfer, allowing
huge files and large collections of small files to be moved hundreds of times
faster, regardless of distance and network conditions.

"Moving large volumes of high-quality media content in the fastest and most
efficient way possible is paramount to successful distribution of online video,"
said Bhavik Vyas, Director of Technology Sales and Partnerships at Aspera. "This
partnership between Ooyala and Aspera will provide customers with a whole new
level of service by leveraging best-of-breed technologies to simplify and
accelerate online video publishing and monetization."
