Fully hosted IBM Aspera on Cloud from just £239/TB
The landscape of high-speed file transfer is experiencing a transformative moment. IBM Aspera, long recognised as the gold standard for secure, high-speed file transfer, has dramatically reduced its entry-level pricing, making its powerful capabilities more accessible than ever before.
Breaking Down the Barriers
For years, organisations have faced a common challenge: the need to transfer large files quickly and securely across global distances, balanced against budget constraints. While Aspera’s superior technology has never been in question, the entry point has sometimes placed it out of reach for smaller organizations or those with lower volume requirements.
That’s all changing. With the introduction of the new Essentials Edition at just £239 per terabyte, IBM Aspera is opening its doors to a whole new segment of the market. This isn’t just a price adjustment – it’s a fundamental shift in accessibility for high-speed file transfer and gives entry-level users access to fully hosted SaaS in IBM cloud.
What You Get with Essentials Edition
The new Essentials Edition includes everything you need to get started with professional-grade file transfer:
- One complete Aspera on Cloud instance
- 1 TB of IBM Cloud Object Storage
- A dedicated workspace
- File deletion policy
- Coverage for your first 10 TB of egress pass-through provider costs
- Unlimited tethered nodes of IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server
Why This Matters
In today’s digital landscape, the ability to move large files quickly and securely isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Whether you’re transferring high-resolution video files, large data sets, or critical business documents, speed and reliability matter. With this new pricing structure, organisations that may have previously had to compromise on their file transfer solution can now access Aspera’s industry-leading capabilities.
