Transfer your largest raw video files or game builds anywhere with confidence

For better productivity and speed in post-production editing and enhancement or game development, your organization needs fast transfers of raw footage or game builds. However, file sizes of video from camera outputs, graphic files, code and more can be exceedingly large, which result in very long wait times for digital delivery that often fail. Delays in sending data to post-production teams, various development locations, or QA teams can have significant consequences due to the time-sensitive nature of projects in the media and entertainment industry.

IBM® Aspera® offers server-side and client-side software to securely send big files 100X faster than traditional methods. This helps boost productivity and efficiency across the fast-paced media and entertainment industry when every second counts. Offered as software, SaaS, or hybrid, the versatility of IBM Aspera makes it a solution for any team working with big data.
