IBM
  • An scope for improvement would be if IBM Aspera on Cloud allowed users to preview files (especially larger videos or images ) before tranfer and also can include a 2nd verification before sending files to reduce chances of errors .
  • In our Organzation we have three regional offices with different fireball configurations . The first time we tried transferring media files around 30 gb from our office other , it failed initially because certain ports were not open and permissions had to be adjusted in multiple steps .But once configured , transfers were quick .So setting up multiple remote office with varying network conditions can be confusing especially for new users .

The interface is very pleasing and so easy to use. I have never used a program that was so simple and so effective. Other programs have too many unnecessary features and make everything really daunting and then you just go elsewhere. IBM Aspera is perfect for easy transfers with minimal features.

The service provided by the authorized vendor was excellent. It was a good collaboration between the vendor IT team and internal IT team. They provided us with a timeline and we verified and approved that timeline. Daily stand ups and weekly meetups were conducted to update the internal team on progress. They were able to deliver all deliverables on time also, they conducted both alpha testing and beta version testing in time. Overall, they were able to complete the implementation in the given timeline.

These cloud storage products deliver sufficient space to store data and access and have an array of ways to transfer this data and keep it secure. IBM Aspera on Cloud focuses on the transfer and makes it a lot faster mainly due to its patented tech and altered UDP protocol. Since most of production code uses IBM services, it was natural to go with IBM Aspera on Cloud.
