IBM Aspera takes a different approach to tackling the challenges of big data movement over global WANs. Rather than optimize or accelerate data transfer, Aspera eliminates underlying bottlenecks by using its proprietary fasp technology that fully utilizes available network bandwidth to maximize speed and quickly scale up with no theoretical limit. Using fasp, transfers are secure end-to-end and are largely unaffected by file size, transfer distance, or network conditions, making transfer times up to 100Xs faster than TCP-based protocols.
IBM Aspera offers SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid solutions to meet the needs of modernizing infrastructures. All solutions offer robust security and compliance, intuitive file sharing, workflow automation, central administration, and real-time visibility. Quickly and easily initiate transfers across hybrid infrastructures, including support for cloud-to-cloud transfers. IBM Aspera offers unmatched transfer speeds, end-to-end security, reliability, and exceptional bandwidth control.
Aspera On Demand is a product offering from Aspera that provides access to Aspera’s patented FASP high-speed transfer software and solutions, as part of an online usage-based subscription service. Unlike on-premise deployments where you, the customer, must provision the underlying infrastructure, Aspera On Demand runs on cloud-based infrastructure provided by a cloud computing provider. You gain the benefits of Aspera high-speed transfer without large upfront infrastructure costs to support it. This offering is available today on the Amazon Web Services, IBM Softlayer Cloud, Google Cloud and on the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud platforms. Support for other cloud platforms and types of services will be available in the future.
