AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing prices high-speed file transfer through annual contracts tied to storage capacity and data egress. You pick a base plan sized by yearly storage volume: Essentials (1TB), Standard Plus (6TB), Premium (30TB), Enterprise on Demand (12TB), plus deprecated Advanced (6TB) and Enterprise (60TB) editions kept for existing users. Each base plan pairs with matching add-on units for Additional Storage and Additional Egress, so you scale capacity beyond what your plan includes. Premium also offers a Transmitted Overage GB unit for transfer above the plan allowance. Choose one base tier, then add usage units as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts toward my base plan: data stored, data transferred, or both?
Both metrics apply. Each base plan bundles a yearly storage volume plus an egress allowance for data moved out of storage. Storage measures data kept in the service. Egress measures data transferred out. Your bill combines the base plan with any Additional Storage and Additional Egress units you add.
What happens when my transfers exceed the amount included in my Premium plan?
Premium includes a Transmitted Overage GB unit for transfer beyond the plan allowance. You are charged per gigabyte moved above the included amount. This lets usage grow without switching plans. Other plans instead use Additional Egress and Additional Storage units to extend capacity.
How do the Additional Storage and Additional Egress units work with a base plan?
You choose one base plan sized by yearly storage volume. Each plan includes a set storage and egress amount. When you need more, you buy matching Additional Storage or Additional Egress units for that plan. These units add to the base plan on the same annual contract.

Reliable Large File Transfers That Improved Team Collaboration

What do you like best about the product?
Most folks notice something right away about IBM Aspera on Cloud - big files move without falling apart when hopping between clouds. Sticking everything into one flow means you do not bounce around apps just to upload, share, or follow progress. When teams work from different locations, particularly with big bundles like archived records, saved copies, or video clips, the connection holds up much better compared to dragging files through a web browser. Most days, large file moves handle better than expected. When things finally line up, shared links, tidy workspaces, and progress checks make routines run smoother. Less drop during long sends means less repeat effort. Efficiency grows without extra steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Later on, accessing core tools stays smooth, yet particular team configurations sometimes demand extra clicks without clear hints why. Hidden deep in layers, a few powerful options emerge only after repeated attempts at locating them - especially when rolling out shared tasks across departments. Now and then, checking big files or updating shared folders takes a moment longer. Even so, the system holds up well through most tasks. Still, certain bits of the layout might flow better if they were simpler to manage when moving quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Heavy files used to stall mid-upload, trip over shaky browser connections, or drag out sync times across distant machines. Then came IBM Aspera on Cloud - transfers shifted into a steadier rhythm, riding a stronger backbone in the sky. Now that uploads hold steady, teamwork moves smoother. Failed transfers used to eat minutes here and there - those gaps are shrinking. When people share files across systems, fewer hiccups slow things down. Big collections of data, stored copies, and scattered project pieces stay reliable over weeks of work. Even with several hands pulling from the same online space, everything holds together.

What do you like best about the product?
The transfer speed is very fast, even when I’m moving large, heavy files.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be more user-friendly to provide a better overall experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest challenges companies face is transferring large datasets and heavy files from one place to another, whether it’s between locations or from the cloud. For high-speed data transfer, I don’t see a better alternative than this.
