Challenges

MBC, a leading media and broadcasting company, faced the need to modernize their infrastructure while ensuring seamless connectivity across their global network. The key challenges included:

Reinstallation of Existing Aspera Environment: MBC’s on-premises Aspera environment required reinstallation and migration to a cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption during the transition.
Migration of Licenses: The company needed to migrate their Aspera licenses from the on-premises environment to virtual machines (VMs) on a cloud environment without losing access to the functionalities tied to these licenses.
Maintaining Branch Connectivity: MBC’s regional branches needed to retain the same connectivity and configuration settings during the migration to ensure uninterrupted service across all locations.
User Authentication SLA Adjustment: MBC required a revised method for user authentication with a new Service Level Agreement (SLA) to meet their growing security and performance demands.
Bidirectional File Transfers: Ensuring bidirectional file transfer capability across all regional branches, with thorough testing to validate the robustness and efficiency of the solution, was crucial.
