IBM Aspera Training: Aspera on Cloud

We work with PacGenesis because they are experts in Aspera and digital file movement. They make the process really simple, and really work with us to design and implement the Aspera solutions to meet our workflow requirements. PacGenesis is always there for immediate support and seem to always solve any of our Aspera transfer and storage issues. They are a trusted partner, and are vital for our team at MGM.

Aspera has been part of our tool kit for years and switching our licenses to PacGenesis made a huge difference. PacGen took the time to learn about our business and understand how we use this tool. They have applied their expertise to ensure we are utilizing Aspera in the most efficient way possible and they provide a level of support we only see from internal partners.

The Aspera deployment created a frictionless experience for both our end users and our external partners, making the exchange of files much easier regardless of size, which has improved overall collaboration.

Transfers over the satellite connections are consistently 6-8 Mbps with Aspera (at full available bandwidth capacity) and ramp up to 40 Mbps+ when the vessels move into the WiMAX zone where bandwidth capacity increases, making transfers noticeably much faster

In my 17 years of experience of working on large scale IT projects, the Aspera deployment was the most successful I’ve been involved with and it imposed the least amount of inconvenience to our users and customers.

“Thanks to Aspera, file transfer speeds have improved 144% making it easy to meet court mandated deadlines and better serve our clients.”

Together the solutions significantly accelerate the turnaround time for data processing while at the same time solving the data throughput issue.

We wanted a solution that would work for a broad range of people, not just those with technological expertise. Using Aspera, anyone can upload or download data easily.

We can deliver content faster and more efficiently using Aspera. It would be hard to manage without it.

Since using Aspera, efficiency and productivity has easily increased five-fold by freeing up my staff’s time. We trust Aspera as a secure, reliable and irreplaceable tool in our collaboration infrastructure.

The two major reasons we need Aspera are for security and performance.

No matter where our business takes us, I’m confident that Aspera will remain a strategic partner that helps us to continue progress and scale because they understand how significant time-to-value is for any business in today’s cloud-centric ecosystem.

With Aspera and Telestream, our coverage will be enhanced by our ability to get more content back to our LA facility at a lower cost.
