Like many enterprises, universities need access to scalable infrastructure and technologies so they can build global connections, manage ever-expanding data needs, and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. And many are turning to the cloud to help them do exactly that.Today, we’re proud to announce thatGeorgetown is expanding its work with Google Cloud to include migrating on-site enterprise systems toGoogle Cloud Platform (GCP) within one year. By shifting their workloads to GCP, the university will implement an AI-first and cloud-first strategy that will help them to optimize their operations and accelerate research. Judd Nicholson, Georgetown’s Vice President and Chief Information Officer, says, “the relationship with Google Cloud is a key step in Georgetown’s strategy to continuously modernize its information technology infrastructure to support the evolving needs of our students, faculty and researchers.”Georgetown was an early adopter of cloud solutions and uses G Suite to collaborate and communicate daily across campus. By taking this next step, Georgetown will digitally transform the current technology infrastructure on campus to better support teaching, learning, and research.“This collaboration will accelerate Georgetown’s ability to provide advanced high-performance computing and sustainable storage resources to its research communities,” says Billy Jack, Georgetown’s Vice Provost for research. ”It will also serve as a gateway to creating a university of the third millennium—a learning and research institution that embraces data and technological literacy and analytical proficiency as one of the foundations of modern scholarship and enquiry across all disciplines.”Georgetown will benefit from their expanded work with Google Cloud in a number of key ways.By shifting to Google data centers, which are powered entirely by renewable energy, Georgetown will be deepening its commitment to sustainability. “Our work with Google Cloud to accelerate Georgetown’s continued transition to the cloud and away from its dependence on an on-premise data center will support our sustainability efforts,” says Nicholson.Using Google Cloud’s advanced technologies in areas such as big data analytics and AI, Georgetown can accelerate research in key areas for positive social impact—medicine, life- and climate-sciences, global development, and many more.Moving all their on-site enterprise systems to Google cloud will help Georgetown reduce costs and improve efficiencies by creating synergies across all of their services.You can read our case study to learn more about our work with Georgetown.

Across the world today, there’s no denying that the technologies underlying the media and entertainment industry are undergoing some massive transformations.
The availability and volume of video content is expanding exponentially as the line between streaming and file-based content blurs and multicloud becomes the reality of modern IT infrastructures.
For more than 15 years, IBM Aspera has pioneered the data transport technologies supporting this transformation. This year at NAB Show, Aspera will continue to push boundaries by showcasing innovations designed to help clients continue to succeed in an evolving media landscape.
IBM Aspera highlights updates at NAB Show 2019
Here are three key updates to look for at NAB Show 2019:
1. New capabilities for cloud-based workflows.
Organizations across media and entertainment are migrating to the cloud for increased scalability and flexibility.
To provide the additional scale and efficiency that clients need for high-volume cloud-based workflows, IBM is adding new automation functionality to Aspera on Cloud for early access customers. An easy-to-use graphical workflow designer tool enables users to quickly build and configure event-driven transfer workflows. When combined with new Aspera on Cloud analytics features, these automation capabilities will serve as a powerful solution for managing cloud-based workflows.
2. Expanded streaming accessibility.
At NAB Show, Aspera will continue to push the boundaries of high-quality live and near-live video streaming.
A new beta of Aspera Streaming for Video will demonstrate capabilities that enable full bi-directional communication and flexible substitution for TCP (transitional control protocol) across an even wider variety of deployment environments to support additional streaming use cases.
The team will also show off an easy-to-use web application for Aspera Streaming for Video that provides auto-discovery and full visibility of devices.
3. Enhanced performance.
In addition to the new product features, IBM Aspera is also continuing to innovate on its core technology. We recently added a new encryption module built around industry-standard OpenSSL AES-GCM encryption to the Aspera High-Speed Transfer platform. For compute intensive operations, this update can improve encrypted transfer rates by up to 200 percent, while also significantly reducing CPU load.
Aspera multi-session transfer technology overcomes the inherent network speed limitations that organizations often encounter in cloud environments. By using parallel transfer processes to move very large files, Aspera can achieve multi-Gbps (billions of bits per second) transfer speeds to and from all of the leading cloud providers, including IBM, AWS, Azure and Google.
These improvements have brought impressive results. In a recent independent performance analysis of IBM Cloud Object Storage with Aspera multi-session transfer and Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration, the IBM technology completed a 20GB file transfer up to 12 times faster.

NAB Show 2019 will clearly be a big event for IBM Aspera partners and clients. The team will continue to push boundaries and bring new capabilities to organizations around the world.
