Case Study: National Instruments achieves faster global software build synchronization with IBM Aspera

Empowering global software development with high-speed data transfers

National Instruments needed a more efficient way to synchronize large software builds across its global development teams, replacing slow and unreliable HTTP-based transfers that were delaying work for days. NI turned to IBM and IBM Aspera® high-speed transfer technology to support continuous, follow-the-sun software development from its central data center in Austin, Texas.

IBM and National Instruments implemented a tailored multi-site data transfer and synchronization solution using IBM Aspera® and Aspera Sync across 17 remote locations. The result was a dramatic reduction in build time from four days to four hours, with more predictable delivery timelines and costs, faster innovation, and quicker recovery from a major system failure—restoring files in hours instead of four days.
