WHO IS ASPERA?

CHALLENGES WITH TCP AND ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Distance degrades conditions on all networks •  Latency (or Round Trip Times) increase

•  Packet losses increase •  Fast networks just as prone to degradation

TCP performance degrades with distance •  Throughput bottleneck becomes more severe with

increased latency and packet loss

TCP does not scale with bandwidth •  TCP designed for low bandwidth •  Adding more bandwidth does not improve throughput

Alternative Technologies •  TCP-based - Network latency and packet loss must be low •  UDP traffic blasters - Inefficient and waste bandwidth •  Data caching - Inappropriate for many large file transfer workflows

•  Modified TCP - Improves on TCP performance but insufficient for fast networks •  Data compression - Time consuming and impractical for certain file types •  CDNs & co-lo build outs - High overhead and expensive to scale

4

FASP™: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRANSPORT

Maximum transfer speed •  Optimal end-to-end throughput efficiency •  Transfer performance scales with bandwidth independent of transfer

distance and resilient to packet loss

Congestion Avoidance and Policy Control •  Automatic, full utilization of available bandwidth •  On-the-fly prioritization and bandwidth allocation

Uncompromising security and reliability •  Secure, user/endpoint authentication

•  AES-128 cryptography in transit and at-rest

Scalable management, monitoring and control

•  Real-time progress, performance and bandwidth utilization •  Detailed transfer history, logging, and manifest

Low Overhead •  Less than 0.1% overhead on 30% packet loss

•  High performance with large files or large sets of small files

Resulting in •  Transfers up to thousands of times faster than FTP

•  Precise and predictable transfer times

•  Extreme scalability (concurrency and throughput)

FASPTM – MANAGEMENT WITH ADAPTIVE RATE CONTROL

Extraordinary bandwidth control •  Automatic, full utilization of available bandwidth

•  Protection of other network traffic with “fair” policy •  Allows “bursts” in TCP traffic and reclaims unused

bandwidth as it as it becomes available

Real-time prioritization of transfers •  Highly-concurrent transfer stacking •  On-the-fly, per flow, user and job prioritization

•  Concurrent transfers adjust bandwidth consumption on the fly, allocating available bandwidth based on transfer priority

System-wide monitoring and reporting •  Real-time progress and performance analysis

•  Real-time bandwidth utilization •  Detailed transfer history, logging and manifest
