Aspera software powers the upload of video content to several of the Internet's most popular online music and video stores, and is used for high-speed file transfer between the Hollywood studios, their post-production partners, the content aggregators, and finally to CDN's.
An example content provider reduced daily upload times from 3.5 hours to 7 minutes. Cross-country and intercontinental transfers over high-speed backbones are over 100X the speed of conventional protocols, and even more important, finish in the same time, every transfer.
These end-to-end deployments are exploiting the Aspera software as a complete transfer platform -- providing maximum performance and rigorously consistent transfer speeds, complete security, and trackable transfers from end-to-end. As compared to traditional file delivery technologies, the approach is a cost and performance transformation, from back end production through consumer delivery.
Aspera's server products include Aspera Enterprise Server and Aspera Scp for Point-to-Point. Aspera Enterprise Server supports multiple-connection and advanced management features, and Aspera Scp for Point-to-Point is for single-connection servers.
