IBM’s move to acquire Aspera Technology would allow companies to transport massive files faster in the cloud. This acquisition would enhance the big data product portfolio of IBM Corporation.
To make a stronger product portfolio of big data and cloud computing
based movement of data files, the big blue announced the acquisition of
California based software protocol development company Aspera Inc. This
announcement was made public by the IT giant through a press release
statement issued on Thursday, December 19, 2013.
The statement does not disclose the financial terms for completing
this deal but it was announced that IBM would integrate the fast and
secure software technology of Aspera in its big data products to make
them faster to move into the cloud.
It was further explained the dynamics behind the acquisition that IBM
was finding it very difficult to handle both the structured and
unstructured data in the cloud computing based environment. The big
bottlenecking of the problem was the speed of the transfer of big files
in the cloud computing based environment in the cloud. The ‘Fasp
Technology’ – as patented by Apsera Inc would be very useful for the
company to manage the big data and large files to move in and out of the
internet cloud.
It was further elaborated in the press release statement that
Aspera’s technology related to the fast movement of the data into the
cloud would decrease the transmission time by up to 99.9% – for example,
24 GB file transferring half way around the world would be reduced from
26 hours of transfer to just 30 seconds!
In the press release statement, Vice President, B2B and Commerce
Solutions, IBM John Mesberg said, “Our experience working with thousands
of clients on Big Data projects tells us that companies can better
compete and win when they can quickly extract value from massive volumes
of data – and with this acquisition, IBM addresses a key challenge for
globally integrated enterprises by allowing them to move large data
files much faster to the individuals who need them, wherever in the
world they may be.”
By the combination of Aspera’s fasp technology with the power of
cloud computing, the enterprise and corporate customers would be able to
get full control on the worth of their big data by moving it into the
cloud and processing for the business value.
