Helping You Get the Most out of IBM Cloud Object Storage
The Challenge
Managing external file ingest and distribution using IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) often forces IT teams to trade off security for convenience.
- Complex credential distribution: Sharing bucket credentials or setting up IAM for temporary contractors is distracting for IT and a security risk.
- Slow ingest pipelines: Traditional file transfers require staging files locally or waiting for multi-gigabyte uploads to finish before downstream processing can start
- High technical friction: Asking external partners to navigate complex transfer tools, scripts, or custom software is a recipe for failed deliveries and support tickets.
The MASV Solution
An enterprise-grade upload layer built to accelerate IBM Cloud Object Storage.
- MASV adds a frictionless, highly secure transfer layer to your IBM Cloud environment.
- Using native S3-compatible connectivity, your team can collect and send file packages of unlimited size through a web browser.
- Stream those assets directly into your buckets in real-time.
Key Features of the MASV-IBM COS Integration
Zero-Credential External Ingest
Receive assets straight into your IBM buckets via custom web portals, eliminating the need to issue bucket keys or IAM credentials to third parties.
Real-Time Express Streaming
Eliminate waiting by using MASV Express to stream incoming file packages into IBM Cloud storage as the upload takes place.
Direct Cloud Distribution
Push assets directly out of IBM Cloud Object Storage to global recipients without local downloads.
Automated Routing
Establish dedicated upload Portals that automatically map incoming transfers to specific bucket destinations and folder hierarchies.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Protect high-value data with in-flight/at-rest encryption, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and TPN (Trusted Partner Network) security standards
Upload Huge Files
Move file packages of unrestricted size without browser limits or connection timeouts.
Set Up Your MASV-IBM Cloud Object Storage Integration
What You’ll Need:
- A MASV account.
- IBM Cloud Object Storage bucket name and region, Access Key ID, and Access Key Secret.
- The file path where you want to deliver or retrieve files.

Use Cases
Long-term archive ingest
Feed high-resolution master files and raw production reels straight into IBM Cloud Object Storage tiers without transfer drops or file size restrictions.
Distributed team collection
Gather data from global teams – such as camera crews, clinical trial sites, or regional offices – into central cloud buckets without bucket-level user management.
Vendor & partner delivery
Provide post-production vendors, research partners, or agencies with a branded upload gateway that automatically sorts incoming deliverables into designated project directories.
Broadcast content pipeline
Accelerate live event and news gathering workflows by letting field teams upload broadcast clips straight to cloud storage from any web browser or device.
AI & ML dataset ingestion
Move large training datasets, annotated files, and model outputs in and out of IBM COS to keep AI pipelines humming without bottlenecks or transfer delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
MASV connects directly using IBM’s S3-compatible API. Once configured with your endpoint URI and storage credentials, MASV reads and writes assets directly to your specified IBM buckets.
Rather than holding files until a full package finishes uploading, MASV Express streams data chunks directly into your IBM bucket simultaneously as the uploader sends them, dramatically reducing overall pipeline delay.
Yes. Enabling the "Send from Cloud" feature allows authorized users to select files inside your IBM buckets through MASV and send them to external recipients without downloading the data to a local workstation first.
No. External contributors simply click your custom MASV Portal link and drag-and-drop their files using a web browser. They do not need a MASV account, software installation, or access to your IBM Cloud Object Storage environment.
MASV is fully ISO 27001:2022 certified, SOC 2 Type II compliant, and TPN verified. All transfers use TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest.
