Aspera and OvationData partner to deliver high-speed data transfer and management solutions to the Exploration and Production Industry
Combined software and services address the complexities of transferring, analyzing and managing vast amounts of geophysical data to meet the needs of the exploration industry
SEG, LAS VEGAS, Nevada — November 5, 2012 — At the 82nd annual Society of Exploration Geophysicists Meeting and Exhibition, Aspera, Inc., creator of next-generation technologies that move the world’s data at maximum speed, and OvationData, the global leader in the field of Exploration and Production (E&P) data management services and solutions, announced a global partnership to deliver complete end-to-end solutions for full data lifecycle management of massive amounts of seismic data from the field to the data center to the desktop to archive storage.
Aspera’s patented faspTM software brings breakthrough cost savings and efficiency gains to organizations that need to move large volumes of data over public and private IP networks. Easy-to-deploy, fully cross-platform, file type and network type agnostic, Aspera solutions deliver unprecedented levels of transfer performance – including maximum speed, security and bandwidth efficiency. A standard in industries such as Media and Entertainment, Software and Gaming, Telecommunications and Life Sciences, Aspera’s transport technology and solutions have seen growing adoption within the E&P industry, as both large and small oil and gas companies grapple with the challenges of managing ever-growing volumes of seismic data.
Under the arrangement, OvationData will add Aspera’s software to its broad portfolio of lifecycle data management solutions covering the transfer, conversion, management, storing, migration and preservation of geophysical data.
“Gaining access to both legacy and current seismic data inevitability leads to vast amounts of data that must be moved from remote sites and locations into and between geographically dispersed data centers,” said Gregory Servos, president and COO, OvationData. “Aspera’s high-speed data transport solutions are a perfect complement to our broad portfolio of specialized data management and delivery services.”
“Physical media shipments and traditional WAN transfer technologies are inefficient, slow, do not scale and create artificial bottlenecks within business processes,” said Richard Heitmann, vice president marketing, Aspera. “OvationData’s long-standing leadership in the oil and gas segment will help companies leverage our software to move large seismic data sets from the field to the data center, lowering costs and reducing the turnaround times for data processing and distribution.”
