Aspera

Imagine transferring terabytes of data across the globe in minutes - securely, reliably, and without delays or failures. This isn’t a distant dream - it’s a reality made possible by IBM Aspera, delivering high-speed, secure file transfers with ease.

For businesses handling massive data volumes, speed, reliability, and security are not just priorities—they’re necessities. Whether you're migrating data to the cloud, collaborating with remote teams, or distributing large files worldwide, traditional transfer methods often fall short. That’s where IBM Aspera excels, ensuring seamless transfers of any size or distance with unmatched efficiency and peace of mind.

What is IBM Aspera?

IBM Aspera is an advanced data transfer tool that enables businesses to send big files over the internet at high speeds. Unlike traditional file transfer protocols, Aspera uses its proprietary FASP (Fast Adaptive Secure Protocol) technology to overcome bandwidth limitations and latency challenges in conventional networks. This ensures fast and reliable transfers, whether you’re handling cloud migration files or large video projects.

With IBM Aspera, you can transfer files of any size to any distance up to 100x faster than traditional file transfer solutions. Additionally, tools like the transfer speed calculator help users accurately estimate transfer times, streamlining workflows and maximizing productivity. But how does it work?

How IBM Aspera works

At the core of IBM Aspera is its proprietary FASP (Fast Adaptive Secure Protocol) technology, which eliminates the bottlenecks found in traditional transfer methods. Unlike HTTP or FTP-based transfers, FASP maximizes available bandwidth to deliver the fastest transfers, regardless of file size, distance, or network conditions. It also dynamically adapts to fluctuating network conditions, always ensuring best transfer speeds.

With IBM Aspera for desktop, users can send large files directly from their web browser, removing the need for a separate desktop application. Aspera supports both cloud object storage and traditional on-premises environments, allowing businesses to transfer files securely and efficiently. Furthermore, tools like the data transfer calculator help users optimize their transfer processes by providing precise time estimates for file movement.
