The answer was ClearDB in collaboration with an IBM scalable file-sharing solution.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A multi-industrial leader with services in energy-efficient heating\/cooling systems and lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries needed to share large files quickly and securely among its teams and vendors across the globe to eliminate ad hoc methods of exchanging data, including overnighting external hard drives and sending data through unsecured public share sites.<br \/>\nThe company decided to implement IBM\u2019s Aspera High-Speed File Transfer software to enable the quick sharing of large files worldwide and across a variety of teams, offices and systems. However, to do that successfully it required a secure, highly available MySQL database solution that would support its Aspera installation in a Microsoft\u2122 Azure cloud platform.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>The Clear Choice: ClearDB<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navisite.com\/press-releases\/cleardb-named-among-top-ibm-solution-providers\/\">The multi-industrial company turned to ClearDB<\/a>, a pioneer of cloud-based technologies and solutions that optimize the computing efficiency and utility of any database application. ClearDB&#8217;s solution works with IBM\u2019s Aspera architecture to create a highly available database that\u2019s easy to use. It moves, shares and synchronizes large files and data sets, digital assets and media quickly and securely.<br \/>\nThe customer\u2019s internal audit showed that ClearDB&#8217;s database-as-a-service (DBaas) would provide more security and higher performance at lower cost than an internally-created solution using the customer\u2019s MySQL services. The ease of migration, data\/disaster recovery and integration with IBM Aspera plus a glowing recommendation by IBM made ClearDB the clear choice for the implementation.<br \/>\nDuring the first phase of the greenfield project, ClearDB stored metadata and configuration parameters. The fully-operational solution relies on ClearDB to facilitate back-end database interaction. As large files are uploaded to the IBM Aspera transfer service, a link is sent to the user and the file downloaded.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Building Success Worldwide<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In the customer\u2019s media-rich environment, ClearDB powers the solution that lets each division of the global company to quickly transfer promotional videos, presentations and other data files, upwards of 50 MB, with the solution eventually facilitating server-to-server replication.<br \/>\nWith ClearDB\u2019s highly available database supporting its Aspera\u2019s file-sharing solution, the multi-industrial company can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Boost performance for clients who rely on software to collect and monitor building efficiency data<\/li>\n<li>Download and install software patches quickly via technicians\u2019 tablets at customer sites<\/li>\n<li>Transfer corporate videos between production companies and its communications team<\/li>\n<li>Share communications and media files for corporate events<\/li>\n<li>Offer remote access for training videos, manuals and media-rich presentations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Built for Simplicity, Efficiency and Security<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>ClearDB provides a faster, stronger, safer way of getting data to applications anywhere in the world.
