Aspera
Aspera is used for high-speed file transfers. Users run an Aspera client on their machine (see Aspera Desktop), and Pixwel’s transfers run through IBM Aspera on Cloud and its Transfer Server (ATS) — not an on-premises server. The API builds transfer specs and signs Aspera tokens against the IBM Aspera Cloud and Node APIs (api.ibmaspera.com, ats-aws-us-west-2.aspera.io) — see api/config/bootstrap/connections.php and api/models/Aspera.php.
Credentials are in Pixwel Platform Operations.
Infrastructure is described in Pixwel Platform Infrastructure.
The legacy on-premises Aspera servers (
aspera.pixwel.com, ddd.pixwel.com in the “magic closet”) are deprecated. Jamie’s Aspera Connect Server DDD.PIXWEL.COM doc describes that old setup and is kept for historical reference only.
