IBM® Aspera® solutions enable organizations to move, share and synchronize large files and data sets, digital assets and media quickly and securely. These highly scalable solutions are built to handle the largest data requirements at maximum speed, regardless of data size, type, distance or network conditions.
At the core of the Aspera solutions is the patented Aspera Fast, Adaptive, and Secure Protocol (FASP®), a breakthrough transfer protocol that uses existing wide area network (WAN) infrastructure and commodity hardware to achieve speeds up to hundreds of times faster than FTP and HTTP. FASP transport technology provides enterprise grade security and exceptional reliability and bandwidth control.
WHY ASPERA
Aspera’s patented FASP™ transport technology is a proven standard for the high-speed movement of large files or large collections of files over wide area networks (WANs). Organizations across a variety of industries on six continents rely on Aspera software for the business critical transport of their digital assets.
ASPERA'S SOLUTION
Aspera’s innovative fasp file transfer technology is an alternative to TCP and eliminates the aforementioned limitations, achieves full utilization of available bandwidth and removes sensitivity to network latency and packet loss. It also enables extraordinary bandwidth control with pre-set or on-the-fly allotments to fully exploit assigned bandwidth while remaining fair to other traffic. Aspera’s fasp delivers a flexible solution for moving big data that can be deployed as a stand alone installation or alongside TCP accelerators, which can be retained for handling business data traffic. fasp is a software-only solution that can run on commodity hardware (no dedicated appliances needed), so it can be easily expanded to any user, within company or outside (to customers and suppliers).
DISTRIBUTE
Aspera software can distribute file-based assets of any size from one geographic location to customers and partners around the world, without compromising performance or security. The solutions are comprised of a high speed transfer server and a variety of client options.
