Aspera, is the current winner in Bioinformatics. The European Bioinformatics Institute and US NCBI are both big users of it. Mainly for INSDC (Genbank/ENA/DDBJ) and SRA (Short Read Achive) uploads.
For UniProt a smaller dataset we just use it to clone servers and data from Switzerland to the UK and US at 1GB/s over wide area internet.
Very fast, and quite affordable.
