IBM Aspera® On Cloud
IBM Aspera® On Cloud
As media organizations increasingly adopt hybrid-cloud workflows that uses a combination of public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises storage and compute resources, moving content has become much more challenging. Files that need to be exchanged are often stored in multiple clouds and on-premises systems. Traditional transfer technologies bridging these environments are slow and unreliable, and physical disk shipments between them are time consuming and expose data to unnecessary security risks.
IBM Aspera on Cloud overcomes the file transfer challenges of the hybrid cloud by allowing media companies to securely and reliably move their content across on-premises and multi-cloud environments anywhere at unrivalled speed.
Seamlessly Access and Share Data Stored Anywhere
Whether content is stored on-premises or in the cloud, Aspera on Cloud offers a simple user interface for accessing any of it. A file-system–like structure allows users to easily move folders across data centers and cloud platforms using drag-and-drop. They can directly send large files from on-premises or cloud storage to clients and partners, and invite them to upload content directly to their storage locations. Access to such transfer functionality and configured content stores is protected by a powerful access control model managed centrally by service administrators.
Aspera on Cloud offers unrivalled performance for transferring large files and large collections of files across any distance regardless of network conditions. By fully utilizing available bandwidth, transmissions achieve substantially higher speeds than traditional network transfer technologies. Aspera’s unique Direct-to-Cloud transport technology moves content from the client directly into cloud object storage layer, ensuring high-speed transfers and immediate data availability.
Securely Collaborate with Anyone Around the World
Enterprise-grade security protects valuable content as it is shared and exchanged with collaborators located anywhere around the world. The service authenticates users upon login, encrypts data in transit and at rest using strong cryptography, and verifies data integrity to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks.
Aspera On Cloud is now more accessible and flexible than ever before. It’s currently available in 28 cloud data centers across the US, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, and has been translated into several languages. It’s also available to order online either as a pay-as-you-go option or an annual pre-committed volume rate plan.
Workflow Automation
Automate file-movement workflows for many common transfer jobs. Custom automation workflows can move files between many Aspera on Cloud transfer endpoints, such as shared folders, transfer nodes, shared-inbox and package deliveries. The workflows can be triggered by a variety of methods, such as API calls, operator manual intervention, file-arrival events and shared-inbox file submissions. The new capability enables you to integrate Aspera Orchestrator and Aspera on Cloud workflows.
Intuitive file sharing and content delivery across a hybrid-cloud environment
Aspera On Cloud’s easy-to-use interface simplifies file uploads, downloads, sharing, distribution, and content management across on-premises and cloud storage. Users can:
- Drag-and-drop files and folders to transfer to any storage location or to share with other users and groups.
- Organize files and users into workspaces, which are secure collaboration areas for groups.
- Use inboxes to represent cloud and on-premises storage and enable users to submit content directly to an inbox or to a shared content submission portal.
- Compile content into a digital package and distribute to one or more recipients using a straightforward, email-like interface.
- Preview media content in thumbnail, keyframe grids and playable media.
- Easily find items in very large files stores with search, filter, and sort.

BaishanCloud Dynamic Acceleration
Publish » Internet Distribution » Internet Distribution » Content delivery networks (CDNs) »
Overview
How people interact with online content has changed drastically over the last decades. From social media to online shopping, users expect a fast, interactive, and personalized experience everywhere they go and on any device they are using. However, the transformation that makes the content interactive and instant often make the application slower. Industry surveys show that if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load, over 50% of users will terminate the visit. Accelerating dynamically generated content requires an end-to-end solution that overcomes the network congestion delay, cross-country bottlenecks, and packet loss along the way in order to deliver the content to the end-users. BaishanCloud’s Dynamic Acceleration platform is designed to solve this issue by deploying edge servers globally close to the end-users with the advanced TCP optimizations and network optimization allows content owners to focus on creating content for their users and rely on BaishanCloud to guarantee the performance.
Features
Intelligent Route Optimization
BaishanCloud’s intelligent network route optimization technology is based on Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol, through multi-tiered delivery architecture, to send the request from end-users to customer’s origin. It detects the health status of routes in real-time to achieve zero delays failover and high availability. It establishes a connection on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) for better efficiency and utilizes IPSec to authenticate and secure the data in transit.
Intelligent Network Monitoring
BaishanCloud employs comprehensive monitoring on its delivery platform including performance metrics of single-machine bandwidth, data center bandwidth, machine loading, CPU, and I/O. A monitoring agent is deployed on each PoP to route requests between servers based on real-time metrics to achieve high service availability.
Advanced TCP Optimizations
BaishanCloud’s advanced TCP optimization technology helps avoid Internet congestion, timely and accurately recovers packet loss, and selects optimized paths to deliver dynamic content to users. Its congestion control algorithm adapts to each user to improve download speed and stability. The self-adaptive window adjustment mechanism accurately determines network congestion and packet loss to avoid sharp drops in transmission rate. It is tested to be 10 to 100 times faster than the standard TCP protocol. The technology can be applied to all transport layers that use the TCP protocol including software, kernel, and hardware server.
HTTP/2 and IPv6
BaishanCloud’s dynamic acceleration platform is tailored to serve modern Internet content and devices (such as IoT) and mobile phones. It supports HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, and HTTP/2 with both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled. The platform will serve the compatible protocol and version based on the devices or clients end users are using without the need for customer to modify the origin.
Security
BaishanCloud’s dynamic acceleration platform is built with security in mind. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is 100% enabled and supported with options for customer to either use BaishanCloud’s TLS certificate or bring their own certificates. Customer also has the option to enable BaishanCloud’s Advanced Threat Detection (ATD) with dynamic acceleration. ATD is a highly advanced AI-based cloud security product that utilizes machine learning algorithms to learn behavioral patterns of legitimate users to recognize abnormalities and react in real time.
