IBM Certified Administrator - Cloud Pak for Integration V2021.2 C1000-130 Question # 1 Topic 1 Discussion

IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server (HSTS) is a core component of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) that enables secure, high-speed file transfers over networks, regardless of file size, distance, or network conditions.

HSTS does not impose a file size limit, meaning users can transfer files of any size efficiently.

It uses IBM Aspera’s FASP (Fast and Secure Protocol) to achieve transfer speeds significantly faster than traditional TCP-based transfers, even over long distances or unreliable networks.

HSTS allows an unlimited number of concurrent users to transfer files using an Aspera client.

It ensures secure, encrypted, and efficient file transfers with features like bandwidth control and automatic retry in case of network failures.

A. HSTS allows an unlimited number of concurrent users to transfer files of up to 500GB at high speed using an Aspera client. (Incorrect)

Incorrect file size limit – HSTS supports files of any size without restrictions.

B. HSTS allows an unlimited number of concurrent users to transfer files of up to 100GB at high speed using an Aspera client. (Incorrect)

Incorrect file size limit – There is no 100GB limit in HSTS.

C. HSTS allows an unlimited number of concurrent users to transfer files of up to 1TB at high speed using an Aspera client. (Incorrect)

Incorrect file size limit – There is no 1TB limit in HSTS.

D. HSTS allows an unlimited number of concurrent users to transfer files of any size at high speed using an Aspera client. (Correct)

Correct answer – HSTS does not impose a file size limit, making it the best choice.
