IBM Spectrum Protect Plus

Simplify data recovery and access for virtual machines

Organizations struggle with the complexity involved in protecting data in modern IT environments. Robust data protection involves complex procedures, many IT resources and weeks to get everything working together. The ongoing maintenance is an even greater challenge with agent management and storage resource allocation that often requires storage administrators and application owners to coordinate with backup and VM administrators. Fast access to the latest data for traditional data recovery as well as new data access use cases such as DevOps or analytics is required. Virtual environments are ubiquitous, so providing rapid access for multiple needs such as data protection, high availability and other data-reuse applications in VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments is critical to an organization’s success.

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is a new data protection and availability solution that simplifies VM and file recovery and access. It unlocks your data to provide value for emerging use cases, and can either be implemented

as a stand-alone solution or integrate with your IBM Spectrum Protect environment to off load copies for long-term storage and governance efficiently at scale.

IBM Spectrum Protect Agile Development for Continuous Delivery

Moving the World’s Data at Maximum Speed

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.

COLLABORATE
Collaborative file transfer solutions from Aspera provide individuals and groups with intuitive, secure and efficient paradigms to collaborate and exchange files and directories. Web, Desktop, Mobile, and email interfaces provide users with complete freedom and flexibility in sending and receiving data.
http://asperasoft.com/solutions/by-use-case/collaborate/

AUTOMATE
With Aspera’s high-speed transfer and automation platform, enterprises can manage and automate file movement and processing from simple repeatable tasks to the most complex and challenging workflows, internally within the organization, across locations or with customers and partners.

SHARE
Easy to use web applications, coupled with high-speed FASP® transport and a powerful security model offer a complete solution for ingesting, sharing, and managing data distributed across enterprise storage or cloud storage systems, whether public or private -  the perfect replacement for FTP.

SYNCHRONIZE
Built with extreme performance and scalability in mind, Aspera Sync overcomes the bottlenecks of conventional synchronization tools like rsync, and scales up and out for maximum speed replication and synchronization over WANs.

STREAM
The FASPStream software product was created from the ground up by Aspera with the potential to revolutionize the way that live and near-live video is transported.
