What Signiant Media Shuttle is
Signiant Media Shuttle is a paid media-transfer service with cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployment options. Its Small Business plan lists unlimited transfers, unlimited portals, no file-size limits, no bandwidth caps, cloud or on-premises storage, and 24/7 customer support. Professional specifies 25 TB of cloud payload transfers, while Enterprise specifies 100 TB. The service supports broad protocols, workflow automation, download tracking, and an audit trail. API access, custom branding, and a desktop app are available, and its listed platform is API. The product comes from Signiant Media Shuttle, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts. Pricing is available on request, and there is no free plan. The plans separate uncapped Small Business transfers from the stated cloud-payload allowances for Professional and Enterprise, allowing organisations to select a listed transfer model.
