1 Media Exchange TM Media Shuttle TM Secure, Subscription-based File Sharing Software for Any Size Enterprise or Workgroup. Powerfully Simple File Movement

2 The Fastest, Easiest, Safest Way to Move Digital Media Files The industry s only subscription-based software for secure, accelerated file movement, Media Shuttle delivers powerfully simple user interfaces in the cloud, while maintaining content within the secure control of your internal network. This gives media workgroups of all sizes the convenience and ease of use of consumer cloud file-sharing services without file size limits or the security risks associated with storing high-value assets in the cloud. CREATE A BRANDED ENTERPRISE FILE SHARING PORTAL 1 Brand Your Portal Once set-up is complete, Media Shuttle gives Media Operations Managers or Project Leaders the ability to customize their file sharing portal in just minutes. Select logos, wallpaper images, favicon, color schemes and element placement. Each portal can be branded separately for the intended workgroup, project team or enterprise. D esigned to address the needs of any size enterprise or workgroup, Media Shuttle offers: Simple Web interfaces Accelerated delivery of large media files without file size limits Content storage on the corporate network for added security Branded user experiences Content tracking and reporting. Equally powerful in large enterprises or small workgroups, this approach provides the level of scalability, ease of deployment and lower storage costs that media enterprises desire. And, by delegating user administration to others across the organization, Media Shuttle dramatically reduces the level of IT support required for managing users, servers and desktop software. YOUR MEDIA FILE TRANSFER PORTAL, YOUR BRAND Once set-up is completed, Media Shuttle can be customized in minutes. A graphical interface makes it easy to add logos and graphics, select a default language and custom URL, manage user permissions and create custom notifications. ENTERPRISE SCALE AND SECURITY Media Shuttle is based on the same industry-leading security and high-speed acceleration protocols used in Signiant s core infrastructure products. Available as an extension to Media Exchange or deployed stand alone, a Signiant server on your network facilitates movement of files between users. And, unlike many consumer cloudbased services, Media Shuttle provides centralized visibility of transfers, including job status, bandwidth usage and user activity to monitor workgroup content flows. APPLICATIONS Ad hoc file sharing for project teams Accelerated movement of television content, theatrical productions, sporting or news event footage Distribution of proxies, scripts, schedules and images Sharing media for marketing and advertising campaign development and approval File movement related to creative collaboration, such as editing or foreign market localization. 2 3 Configure Options and Add Members The Media Shuttle portal administrator can choose from a menu of settings, including default language, user permissions and notification settings. Portal administrators can add the addresses of users they authorize to send and receive content on the system. Move Any Size File, Fast Users access Media Shuttle s powerfully simple interface via a Web browser by going to a custom URL that you choose. Content can be uploaded in seconds, and sent using -like controls. Movement is managed and secure. 4 5 Download Material When material arrives, the recipient simply clicks on the download link in the branded notification to retrieve the file. Pre-set content expiration time frames can be established by the administrator. Track Activity Media Shuttle gives administrators and enterprise IT complete visibility into user activity and portal metrics, including number of users, storage capacity, transfers/ week, average transfer rate, average file size, peak storage time and average transfer speed.
