Data management experts make enterprise-grade carbon transparency and high-speed file transfer accessible to broadcasters of all sizes
Dot Group, specialists in data management solutions, will showcase breakthrough innovations in carbon transparency and high-speed file transfer at IBC2025 (Future Tech Zone, Hall 14, Stand D29). As established data engineering experts, the company is uniquely positioned to address the broadcasting industry’s dual challenges of environmental compliance and operational efficiency through intelligent data solutions.
Central to Dot Group’s IBC2025 presence is GreenDot, its novel proprietary carbon transparency solution for broadcast IT infrastructure. GreenDot provides real-time monitoring of servers, applications, processors and processes, delivering previously unseen insights into carbon footprint and resource utilisation. The lightweight application offers smart optimisation advice and compliance-ready reports, enabling broadcasters to track carbon emissions per process whilst identifying cost-saving opportunities.
The company will also showcase IBM’s extensive portfolio of sustainability solutions, including IBM Apptio for cloud cost management and financial optimisation, IBM Turbonomic for AI-driven resource management, and IBM Envizi for ESG reporting and sustainability data management. These solutions enable broadcasters to optimise both operational costs and environmental impact through data-driven decision making.
Addressing the accessibility challenge in high-speed file transfer, Dot Group will debut IBM Aspera Lite, a carefully bundled entry-level solution that fills a critical gap in the market. Designed specifically for smaller broadcast operations and business units that find enterprise solutions excessive for their needs, IBM Aspera Lite delivers high-speed transfers superior to traditional managed file transfer whilst offering fixed subscription pricing with no unpredictable costs. Available in 100 Mbps, 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps tiers, the solution is ideal for organisations seeking basic collaboration, simple automation and easy management with lean technical teams.
Visitors to Dot Group’s stand will experience live demonstrations showcasing the company’s dual expertise. GreenDot’s carbon monitoring will be shown integrating with DataSprint, Dot Group’s high-speed file transfer platform powered by IBM Aspera technology. DataSprint delivers unlimited transfers, users and workspaces through fixed-price subscriptions and serves industry leaders including Timeline Television, Molinare and Foo Engine. This demonstration highlights how the company’s integrated data management approach delivers both sustainability compliance and operational efficiency for broadcasters of all sizes.
“Data is the foundation of both efficient operations and environmental responsibility,” explains Simon Parkinson, Managing Director at Dot Group. “Our expertise lies in helping broadcasters identify the right combination of solutions for their specific needs, whether that’s real-time carbon monitoring through GreenDot or optimising file transfer workflows through IBM Aspera technologies.
“By providing transparent, actionable data about resource utilisation and carbon footprint, we enable informed decisions that simultaneously reduce costs and environmental impact. The broadcasting industry’s future depends on intelligent data management that serves both business objectives and environmental responsibilities.”
