What is Aspera?
Aspera Faspex is a platform that McCann Worldgroup has put in place to make getting files from point to point—that being from Detroit to Troy, or Detroit to Bangladesh—as easy and fast as possible. Files, or even sets of files, from 20MB to 20GB or even higher, Aspera gets it there fast—several times faster than FTP, and all via a web-based interface*.
