Built into every IBM Aspera product is our unique Direct to Cloud Technology which integrates the patented FASP high-speed transport with each cloud platform specific technologies such as multi-part HTTP interfaces from cloud object storage solutions to enable the fastest file uploads and downloads while adding key transfer management features such as pause, resume, reporting, integrity verification, authorization, authentication, and encryption in transit & at rest.
Performance at any distance – Maximum speed single stream transfer, independent of round-trip delay and packet loss (500ms / 30% packet loss+), up to the I/O limits of the platform.
Large file sizes – Support for files and directory sizes in a single transfer session up to the largest object size supported by the particular platform at a default 64 MB multipart chunk size.
Large directories of small files – Support for directories containing any number of individual files with high-speed, even for very large numbers of very small files.
Adaptive bandwidth control – Network and disk based congestion control providing automatic adaptation of transmission speed to available network bandwidth and available I/O throughput to/from storage platform, to avoid congestion and overdrive.
Automatic resume – Automatic retry and checkpoint resume of any transfer (single files and directories) from point of interruption.
Built-in encryption and encryption at rest – Built in over-the-wire encryption and encryption-at-rest.
