Feature and usage tiers

IBM Aspera on Cloud customers can select from among several editions when subscribing to the service. All subscription pricing is based on the volume of data transferred using the service.

Aspera's FASP transfer technology is incorporated into each edition, and offers:

  • High-speed data transfer across hybrid-cloud environments
  • Reliable transfer of any size or number of files
  • Built-in clustering delivering unlimited scalability
  • Use of any storage location
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Data integrity verification
Note: Aspera on Cloud trial organizations use the Standard plus edition. Converting from a trial to a Pay/Go or Essentials edition subscription results in some features of the trial being unavailable.

The editions build upon each other to offer robust collaboration, management, branding, and security capabilities. For details, see IBM Aspera on Cloud: Pricing.

To confirm your subscription level, click the user menu icon and select Account settings > IBM Aspera on Cloud edition.

To change your subscription level, contact your IBM Sales representative.
