Aspera has enabled us to upload gigabytes of data each day on our WAN. It gets us real-time data feedback which in turn has made many of our internal workflows efficient, without worrying about aspects of data security.

High-Speed Data Transfer: IBM Aspera is well-known for its high-speed data transfer capabilities. By leveraging Aspera's FASP (Fast, Adaptive, and Secure Protocol), IBM Cloud Object Storage users can achieve significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to traditional methods, especially over long distances and challenging network conditions. This can be particularly beneficial for large-scale data migrations or transmitting large files and datasets.

IBM Cloud Object Storage's integration with IBM Aspera allows for high-speed data transfer to and from the storage service over a wide area network (WAN) infrastructure. This can be an effective way to transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. IBM Aspera uses a proprietary transfer protocol that is optimized for high-speed data transfer over long distances, and it can automatically adjust the transfer rate to adapt to changing network conditions. This integration can be particularly useful for organizations that need to transfer large amounts of data to or from IBM Cloud Object Storage, such as media and entertainment companies that need to transfer large video or audio files, or scientific research organizations that need to transfer large datasets.

The IBM Cloud Object Storage is a one-of-a-kind fundamental solution for the transfer of file and directory data to, from, and between cloud storage. It has built-in encryption and encryption at rest at AES 128 that secures data coming in and coming out. With secure authentication and access control, I can trust that my data is secure.

It's very fast, and whenever the turnaround time for file transfer is shorter, it results in quicker uploads and downloads, results in a happy customer experience for us. Along with that data, atomicity is the biggest advantage in addition to its integrity.
