IBM Aspera

Move large files 100x faster - without the FTP/SFTP delay

Overview

Urgent work needs data that moves just as fast

Powered by patented FASP® technology, IBM Aspera keeps data moving across distance, latency, packet loss, scale and hybrid infrastructure — with the speed, reliability and control which enterprises need to stay ahead.

That means fewer failed-transfer delays, less manual rework and no operational workarounds just to get data where it needs to go.

Features

Fast and reliable transfers for files of any size

Move massive datasets across distance, latency and changing network conditions in minutes instead of hours or days. IBM Aspera helps teams use available bandwidth efficiently, so that global collaboration, migrations, research pipelines, media production and other time-sensitive workflows keep moving without transfer delays becoming part of the plan.

Speed only matters when transfers complete successfully. IBM Aspera helps ensure business-critical data arrives complete, correct and on time — even across unstable networks and high-volume environments. With automatic recovery, centralized visibility and policy-based control, teams can reduce failed transfers, avoid rework and govern data movement at scale.

Enterprise data now moves across on-premises systems, cloud platforms, SaaS tools, edge locations, partners and remote teams. IBM Aspera gives teams one consistent way to move data across complex environments, helping reduce silos, avoid cloud lock-in and keep workflows flexible as infrastructure evolves.

Modern data movement should fit into the systems your teams already depend on. IBM Aspera lets teams move files directly to and from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, SaaS platforms, remote endpoints and on-premises storage through a simple, consistent transfer experience.
