IBM and base have a long-standing partnership, dating back to 2016. We have since become one of IBM’s largest media-focused partners in the cloud storage market. IBM Cloud is a key component of our tiered cloud storage solutions portfolio, providing our customers with the peace-of-mind that their data is securely stored with one of the largest, most trusted technology providers in the world. Users can benefit from a secure and centralized data storage hub, seamlessly connected to your choice of base managed SaaS tools and solutions.
Our partnership with IBM offers you the flexibility to scale your storage from one terabyte to multiple petabytes, depending on your business requirements. This adaptability is further enhanced by our global data center coverage, ensuring your data can be stored in the nearest location to your users. All our IBM cloud storage uses built-in erasure coding to provide additional data resiliency across three separate data centers. We can also provide optional versioning or geo-replication to customers for additional layers of backup and disaster recovery. All data is encrypted at rest, and in transit for optimal media file security.
base uniquely provides embedded cloud storage services, powered by IBM, where customers can enjoy significant cost savings of up to 50% compared to buying directly from mainstream Public Cloud service providers. We also offer tailored subscriptions and predictable per-terabyte pricing to make your cloud storage a cost-effective foundation for your integrated online media solution.
As an ISO27001 certified managed cloud services provider, we are committed to security for ourselves and our customers – it is our top priority. This certification is also obtained by IBM, so together, we comply with the world’s best-known standard for information security. Our robust systems and processes provide the very best level of protection, with security best practices applied at every layer.
The coveted IBM Platinum Business Partner accreditation badge represents our long-standing, successful trading partnership and displays our ability to deliver leading online media solutions to the market while achieving a high level of customer satisfaction. This includes leveraging IBM cloud storage, IBM Hybrid Cloud, and emerging IBM technologies, including WatsonX AI, to transform and accelerate your business in a more cost-effective way.
The base media asset management system used by LADbible is supported by a Hybrid Cloud integration with IBM tiered cloud storage. This allows its team to seamlessly store over 800 TB of data in the cloud without worrying about hardware limitations or infrastructure costs. The solution not only allows a bridge from on-premises to the cloud, but also seamlessly integrates with Adobe Frame-io for project archiving to IBM Deep Archive, significantly reducing costs. Collaboration also increases as employees can access files anywhere in the world to easily retrieve content through the deep archiving capabilities and powerful search functionality.
”Since 2016, we have worked in deep partnership with IBM to provide best-in-class tiered storage services to the digital media market, bringing cost-effective, super secure, enterprise-grade storage to companies of all sizes. As we have scaled our business, in parallel to IBM’s significant cloud investment, we have further leveraged IBM’s cost-effective compute, networking, file transfer services, and most recently, their innovative WatsonX AI tooling. Throughout our journey together, we have continually pushed to help our customers improve data security and save money, which remains a cornerstone of this important partnership.
