Global Movement of Big Data: IBM can now reassure its partners with the acquisition of Aspera.

We are talking about the capabilities that allow organizations to reduce transfer Time for Large Data Files.

In this ecosystem IBM is paving its way by gathering the essential technologies required. So following the acquisition of SoftLayer, IBM buybacks, fasp technology with the goal to help companies securely speed the movement of massive data files around the world.

Connectikpeole.co recalls that Aspera’s patented fasp™ technology overcomes inherent bottlenecks in broadband wide area networks that slow the transfer of extremely large files, such as high-definition video or scientific research files, over

distance.

By combining Aspera with the power of cloud computing, users have a practical way to transport big data files to and from the cloud. This acquisition is also builds on IBM’s Smarter Commerce initiative by allowing businesses to accelerate their digital supply chains between partners and suppliers. In the same dynamic it extends IBM’s market-leading capabilities in Managed File Transfer with a complementary set of capabilities to help enterprises further gain control and oversight of their data transfers. 

 The acquisition of Aspera is expected to close in the first quarter 2014.
