Ultra‑Fast Global Data Transfer

Key Points

  • IBM Aspera can move business‑critical files and datasets up to thousands of times faster than traditional methods, dramatically accelerating workflows across industries such as life‑sciences research, finance analytics, and global engineering design.
  • It achieves this speed by replacing TCP with its patented Fast Adaptive Secure Protocol (FASP), which fully utilizes available bandwidth, adapts to network conditions, and avoids the bottlenecks that slow long‑distance transfers.
  • The technology is natively integrated with all major public cloud platforms, allowing direct writes to object storage and providing end‑to‑end encryption for data in‑flight and at‑rest.
  • Aspera delivers a ready‑to‑use suite of applications for fast file transfer, collaboration, automation, synchronization, and streaming, enabling organizations to realize faster, more reliable, and more secure data movement at scale.
