aspera console

network-wide transfer management, monitoring, and control

Centrally manage, monitor and control your Aspera transfers and nodes with Aspera Console—the advanced web-based management application, providing comprehensive, centralized control and complete visibility over your Aspera network.

The Aspera Console simplifies the process of deploying Aspera Server and Client nodes and managing Aspera transfers between them across a wide area network (WAN).  Providing users with detailed visibility over all file transfer activity within an Aspera network, Aspera Console offers an advanced web-based interface with comprehensive real-time notification, logging and reporting capabilities, while maintaining a centralized transfer history database for detailed auditing and customized reporting.

Aspera Console’s role-based access control allows users to monitor, start transfers, and generate fully customizable reports.  From the Aspera Console, users can also automate files transfers—including multi-site synchronization with Aspera Sync and full business process orchestration with the Aspera Orchestrator—and integrate with third-party applications. Through Aspera Console, administrators have the ability to centrally configure all managed Aspera nodes, create and manage users and user groups, initiate and automate transfer jobs, and precisely control and monitor all transfer and bandwidth utilization parameters.

Applications

•    Centralized transfer history archival for audit and reporting
•    Control systems with stringent transfer-tracking and accountability requirements
    - Secure communication with all managed nodes
    - Detailed database, with backup and purging capabilities
•    Manage large numbers of users and groups
•    Coordinate complex transfer workflows such as multi-site content ingest, automated forwarding and partner distribution
•    Manage multi-server Aspera deployments remotely
    - Heterogeneous transfer scenarios with different types of clients and servers
    - High-availability deployments with built-in redundancy and fail-over capabilities

Functionality at-a-glance

•    Centrally configure and manage multi-server Aspera transfer nodes (Enterprise Server and Point-to-Point) via one central web-browser interface
•    Monitor real-time transfer activity, including notifications
•    Store transfer history for audit and reporting
•    Manage user access control with detailed private views and control capabilities on individual transfers and paths
•    Prioritize bandwidth allocation or adjust bandwidth in real-time
•    Browse and initiate manual or automated transfer jobs between remote sites
    - Create transfer templates for users
    - Schedule for future one-time and automate recurring transfers
•    Create customized activity, usage and billing reports and notifications
•    Supports Aspera Sync 1.0 for multi-site file synchronization over the WAN(*)
•    Supports a single log-on with Aspera Orchestrator 1.0 for file transfer automation and workflow orchestration, for shared, seamless user management settings
•    Open architecture for integration with third-party processes and systems

(*) Aspera Sync 1.0 is integrated with Aspera Console’s reporting capabilities of file transfer details and statistics. Subsequent releases of Aspera Sync will enable remote setup and configuration of synchronization nodes from the Aspera Console.

New in version 1.5   

  • Powerful new transfer reporting capabilities for project-specific reporting and designed for large scale transfer history. Reports can be organized, sorted and filtered by virtually any transfer attribute (paths, IPs, status, etc.), including custom categories derived from transfer attributes and metadata assigned to transfers within the various Aspera applications. Report templates may be scheduled for automatic runs and email delivery.

  • Secure SSH tunnels for automatically connecting managed nodes to the Console. Tunnels secure management traffic and consolidate all Aspera control traffic to a single SSH connection for minimal firewall configuration.

  • New automatic backup and convenient data purge functions. Create scheduled backups of console configuration and history data and clean up Console data by status and age from the web UI.

  • Dashboard map visibility for transfers between managed and unmanaged nodes.

  • A new robust and easy install and configuration system.

  • New control panel for enterprise management of Console services including health monitoring and remote start/stop control.

  • Faster performance for very large transfer databases (1 million records) and improved file search speed.

  • Plus many other features and important bug fixes.
