• Ensures maximum transfer speed of the media files and immediate start and parallel processing of encoding jobs

“We’re seeing upwards of 500 megabits per second of throughput up to the cloud, which, depending on some variables, is an incredible improvement above just standard FTP or HTTP.” A transfer of a one-hour DNxHD video file that could take 10 hours over FTP, now completes in less than 26 minutes using Aspera. On top of high-speed transfers, Aspera’s patented fasp transfer technology encrypts files in transit and at rest, assuring bulletproof security for business-critical content.
