Radiance Technologies Launches OnRamp Plug-Ins to Bridge Gap Between Applications and Massive File Delivery
Share:
LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 9 -- Radiance(R) Technologies, the leading provider of asset delivery systems (ADS), today announced it will develop and market a set of application-specific, client-side plug-ins, called Radiance Application OnRamps(TM), to seamlessly integrate the entire process of creating, exchanging, and delivering business-critical large files. These extensible OnRamps are embedded, client-side plug-ins to the core Radiance TrueDelivery(R) system that directly expose digital asset delivery capabilities to both packaged and custom applications. TrueDelivery is a software-based asset delivery system for moving large digital assets efficiently, securely, and optimally across any network.
TrueDelivery simplifies and guarantees the delivery of high-value digital assets of all types, including high-definition video, creative design, and image files. Creative content producers and business end users will now be able to tap into TrueDelivery directly and transparently from their most commonly used applications for creative design, enterprise content management, digital asset management, and product design.
"A key part of any collaborative workflow or content creation is the actual movement of those digital assets in a secure, fault-tolerant and efficient way," said Tom Engdahl, president and CEO, Radiance Technologies. "Customers need a transparent way to leverage an enterprise-class asset delivery system directly from their most familiar application environments. Now, with these OnRamps, popular content-creating tools such as Adobe(R) Creative(R) Suite or Apple(R) Final Cut Studio(R) can provide users with the tremendous added value of simplifying the time-consuming and often frustrating chore of managing file transfer."
OnRamps are client-side plug-ins that bridge the gap between an application or tool that creates large digital assets, or files, and the Radiance TrueDelivery system which transports critical digital asset in a managed way. Each OnRamp is a lightweight but powerful client plug-in that allows virtually any user of content-producing applications or digital asset management solutions to send, receive, track, audit, automate, and speed the flow of high-value digital assets both within their own distributed enterprise networks and with partner and supplier networks.
Unlike other point-to-point delivery solutions, TrueDelivery delivers a full asset delivery infrastructure that leverages any private or public network. The end result is an economical, more powerful delivery system that improves user adoption and convenience by eliminating time-consuming manual tasks and leveraging existing bandwidth. Additionally, TrueDelivery improves time to market by empowering users to not only transfer but manage their most valuable digital assets, as well as strengthens security through both encryption and randomization of transfers.
Radiance Technologies is taking a unique approach to delivering digital assets. Unlike most competing delivery technologies that force applications to adapt to the network, Radiance's solutions adapt to the application environment through these OnRamps.
Key Capabilities of OnRamps
Radiance OnRamps offer key features surrounding four core managed asset delivery areas: Optimization, Security, Management, and Delivery Guarantee.
Delivery Optimization
-- Bandwidth and storage resource optimization for deliveries
-- Automatic delivery through subscription, job and workflow automation and scheduling
-- Intelligent asset caching and staging
Asset Security and Integrity
-- Highly secure, authenticated and encrypted transfers from system to system as well as from user to user.
-- Data integrity through lossless compression and transfer techniques
-- Configurable user- and asset-level policy settings with access controls
Intelligent Asset Management
-- Advanced metadata acquisition and creation capabilities to enable intelligent identification of assets, scheduling or prioritization of content in complex workflows
-- Asset delivery reporting and audit capabilities for verification, billing reconciliation and regulation or compliance applications
-- User and asset configurable policy settings with access controls
Delivery Guarantee and Validation
-- Continuous, fault-tolerant recovery from network, system or service failures with intelligent restart capability
-- Validation of delivery via package tracking and confirmations
-- Timestamp and estimated time of arrival for deliveries
-- Pre-delivery storage notification to ensure adequate disk space for a recipient is available before transfer begins
Performance or accelerated application delivery is not the only tool enterprise customers seek and value. Today, businesses of all sizes are equally concerned about the integrity, validity, and control over their digital asset delivery. The greatest value of such systems as Radiance TrueDelivery rests in the managed nature of their delivery solutions. For enterprises with plenty of digital assets (e.g., product designs, creative designs, high-resolution video, or massive packages of bulk data), eliminating or reducing the accumulated time and effort poured into the delivery aspects of an entire workflow or business process is the much more important.
Availability
Radiance's OnRamps are immediately available to its TrueDelivery customers and can be integrated into almost any application requiring a secure and reliable managed-delivery solution for its most valuable digital assets. OnRamps use standard SOAP over XML calls and offer advanced features for workflow as well as metadata capture and association to digital assets. Radiance also offers full integration services for customers that desire a completely outsourced solution.
Radiance Application OnRamps support Windows XP and Mac operating systems and bring access to a fully integrated file-delivery solution for any Web, client-server, or custom application.
