IBM Aspera Console

IBM Aspera Console

Network-wide transfer management, monitoring and control

IBM Aspera Console is a web-based management application that provides complete visibility over your Aspera high-speed transfer environment, enables centralized control over transfers, nodes and users, and maintains comprehensive logging for customized reports and auditing. Console enables multi-site synchronization with Aspera Sync and full business process orchestration with Aspera Orchestrator, and integrates with third-party applications.

Aspera Console allows administrators to monitor and control networkwide transfer activity and bandwidth utilization. A dashboard provides an overview of all activity and enables drill-down views of the performance of individual transfers and node activity. Users can adjust transfer speeds and priorities on the fly and configure aggregate bandwidth per node or per user group. Ad-hoc transfer jobs can be initiated remotely between nodes and “Smart Transfers” can be used for multi-point distribution of files or directories and as templates for automated, repeatable transfer jobs.

With Aspera Console, users can create automated one-time or recurring transfers including multi-point “Smart Transfers” that can later be copied, modified and re-used. Smart Transfers support transfers initiated behind an Aspera Proxy, pull transfers initiated from the destination node, and make it easier to manage permission settings for sharing. Aspera Console enables automatic forwarding of content to and from any managed node with files arriving via Aspera transfers, FTP or any other means. It also integrates
with IBM Aspera Sync to control and report on multi-site, multi-directional file synchronizations.
