Video-on-demand service Afrostream has selected Aspera’s transfer technology to provide speed content delivery to the IBM Cloud.

Afrostream, a niche video-on-demand service focused on African and African-American content, said that the move streamlines Afrostream’s workflow – from media upload to final distribution of movies and TV shows.

“Using Aspera as the preferred means to ingest high-resolution content has significantly accelerated our internal workflow, enabling us to provide content to viewers faster than ever before and to further expand and drive growth in this niche market,” said Ludovic Bostral, co-founder and CTO at Afrostream.
