Proven IBM Aspera to Connect Direct Migrations by Senior Engineers
You need a reliable path from IBM Aspera to IBM Sterling Connect:Direct. Our fixed-scope projects, led by senior platform engineers, map your existing Aspera configurations and transport them seamlessly
The lowest-cost way off IBM Aspera: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Aspera → IBM Sterling Connect:Direct after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project with senior engineers only
- ✓Zero dropped transport tasks during migration
- ✓Consolidate all Aspera endpoints into Connect:Direct
- ✓Maintain vendor support while you plan the move
- ✓2–4 month timeline, $40K–$210K fixed budget
High-performance UDP over satellite/WAN links
Aspera’s FASP protocol handles high-latency links. Our migration preserves that performance by tuning Connect:Direct to match your existing throughput requirements.
User-facing file shares requiring manual interaction
If your Aspera endpoints include browser-based file shares, we migrate those workflows to Connect:Direct’s secure batch automation — no manual steps, no lost functionality.
Consolidation mandate to reduce platform count
Your CIO wants fewer distinct technologies. We move Aspera traffic onto Connect:Direct, giving you a single console, a unified support team, and lower operational overhead.
IBM Aspera → IBM Sterling Connect:Direct migration — your questions answered
How long does it actually take to migrate from Aspera to Connect:Direct?+
A typical migration runs 2–4 months with two senior platform engineers. We assess your current Aspera configuration, map it to Connect:Direct nodes and processes, transfer active tasks, and cut over with zero downtime.
Will I lose the high UDP throughput I have with Aspera on satellite links?+
No. We replicate your Aspera transfer settings into Connect:Direct’s parallel session and compression options. Your WAN throughput stays the same — or improves — without the Aspera licensing cost.
What if I have user-facing file shares that require a browser?+
We migrate those use cases to Connect:Direct’s secure batch workflows. End users submit requests via a lightweight web portal we configure, and all transfers run in mainframe batch — no manual intervention.
Can I keep my current IBM Aspera support while planning the migration?+
Yes. Your existing vendor support contract remains active throughout the project. You choose the cutover date. If the contract lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on Aspera while you complete the move.
Migrate with Confidence – Fixed Scope, Senior Engineers
Stop juggling two file-transfer platforms. Consolidate your batch processing onto IBM Sterling Connect:Direct with a migration that’s scoped, priced, and delivered by senior platform architects. Post-migration, we help you code new Connect:Direct processes, maintain node configurations, and tune mainframe performance — so your new backbone runs lean and fast.
