IBM solutions

Scale your storage securely

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.

Save costs on storage

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 contracts and predictable per-terabyte pricing to make your cloud storage a cost-effective foundation for your cloud native media service.

We are ISO27001 Certified

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.

LADbible uses IBM to store its media assets

The Base Media Cloud 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.”
