Aspera

Aspera, recently acquired by IBM, is an FTP alternative that provides you with maximum transfer speed, regardless of dynamic network conditions or transfer distance. How fast? See the performance matrix below.

Companies like Universal Studios are already realizing the ROI of shorter file transfer times and reduced transfer resends for their large movie files, and now, as result of our unique relationship with IBM and Aspera, you can too. We’ve developed the first POC for using Aspera with the IBM suite of products, so you can:

• Move Gigabytes of data in hours, not days
• Fully utilize all your available bandwidth
• Achieve maximum transfer performance without data degradation

Aspera will provide you with:

Maximum Transfer Speed

Aspera provides transfer speeds that are up to hundreds of times faster than standard FTP and HTTP regardless of file size, transfer distance or network conditions

• Fully utilizes the available bandwidth
• Transfers times are highly predictable
• Speed does not degrade as distances increase

Adaptive Bandwidth Control

Aspera’s bandwidth utilization algorithm enables fast, efficient, and fair transfers ensuring business-critical network traffic can function normally

• Automatic discovery of the bandwidth capacity
• Fair to other TCP traffic
• Priority can be preset or changed on the fly

Enterprise Grade Security

Comprehensive built-in security model that does not impact transfer speeds.

• Secure end-to-end authentication and access control
• Data integrity verification with data encryption in-transit and at-rest
• Account management, transfer logging, activity monitoring and reporting

Further, Aspera provides you with the flexibility to suit your business model by being a solution that:
