Qvest Media to represent Signiant solutions in the Middle East

In a region where bandwidth can be extremely costly, Signiant's accelerated solutions can help organizations move large files securely and without the need to increase bandwidth, a critical factor in improving workflow efficiencies.

"The Middle East is a burgeoning market for content creation, so there is strong demand for solutions such as those from Signiant," said Thomas Müller, General Manager at Qvest Media. "We are committed to providing our customers with the industry's top solutions, and then going beyond that task by helping them to implement file-based workflows that expand their business opportunities. Signiant's solutions complement our world-class product offerings, and we are pleased to have secured the company as a partner."

Qvest Media will offer the full line of Signiant's media file transfer solutions, including the new Media Shuttle file transfer solution that provides an effective alternative to FTP or consumer-oriented file sharing approaches - without the administrative burden, file size constraints or security risks. Media Shuttle's hybrid SaaS architecture lets users access fast file transfer capabilities through a simple interface delivered from the cloud, while maintaining the file cache within the secure control of their own network. A flexible subscription-based pricing model makes Media Shuttle the ideal solution for project-based initiatives or enterprises looking to scale on demand. The distribution portfolio will also include Managers+Agents, Signiant's powerful workflow automation solution, and Media Exchange, a private cloud solution optimized for moving file-based media between internal and external users and systems.

"We could not feel more privileged to enter into this partnership with Qvest Media. Award winning and known for offering the world's best IT and AV solutions for media applications and system integration, Qvest Media is a trusted reseller that will be instrumental in expanding Signiant's presence in this key market,"

said Joachim Bause, Signiant's Managing Director of Central Europe and the Middle East.

Qvest Media will showcase Signiant's solutions as well as more high-end broadcast and media technologies from distribution partners serving the fields of media asset management, scheduling and IPTV solutions during CABSAT 2013 in Dubai (March 12th to 14th 2013), booth E8-10, hall 8.
