EMERYVILLE, Calif.—August 6, 2008—Aspera Inc., creator of next-generation file transport technologies, today announced that the company doubled revenue in fiscal year 2008 over 2007 and closed its books in June with more than 300 enterprise customers worldwide. Aspera has seen a dramatic increase in global demand for its software that moves the world’s digital assets at maximum speed, regardless of file size, transfer distance and network conditions and witnessed record adoption in the media and entertainment space. There are now 5,000 Aspera server and endpoint licenses deployed worldwide.

Media and entertainment companies face competitive pressure to produce differentiated, high- quality content more quickly than ever before. By moving to digital operations, Hollywood studios, broadcasters and media companies can increase workflow efficiency, shorten time-to-market and cut costs. Aspera provides core technology that maximizes existing network bandwidth usage and efficiently moves digital content between and within production, post-production and distribution companies. The company’s high-performance file transfer technologies enable 24/7 production cycles at global distances, eliminate high-cost physical transport costs and support new revenue models by delivering media to new distribution channels.

“It has been a banner year for Aspera, with record growth, for which we are tremendously grateful,” said Michelle Munson, co-founder and president of Aspera. “Our technology is becoming an industry standard for high-speed file transfer and our company has grown accordingly as the leader of this new market. As we enter our new fiscal year, we’ve built out the management, engineering and customer service teams to support our growth path and to ensure Aspera will continue to drive technology innovation for solving all digital file transfer challenges, with the highest-performing, robust, easy-to-use solutions that overcome the inherent limitations of conventional protocols.”

Aspera doubled its workforce during the year, including key new hires in sales and marketing to serve global, national and regional markets. To accommodate its growing team, the company has expanded its headquarters at the Hollis Street Project in Emeryville, just outside of San Francisco. Earlier this year, Aspera formally launched operations in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). With increased demand for large-scale deployments of Aspera software, the company’s research and development group added enterprise-scale network management and control capabilities to its innovative transport.

Based on its patent-pending fasp protocol, only Aspera software fully utilizes existing infrastructures to deliver the fastest, fully predictable, end-to-end file transfer experience.
