ABOUT ASPERA

5
Creating next-generation transport technologies
that move the world’s digital assets at maximum speed,
regardless of file size, transfer distance and network conditions.
OUR MISSION

MARKET /INDUSTRY TRENDS
6
Big Data Explosion
• Exponential growth in data sizes
• Mix of file sizes—but larger files becoming the norm, 4K media files on the horizon ?
Diversity of IP Networks—Media, Bandwidth Rates, and Conditions
• Variable bandwidth rates (slow to super-fast)
• Bandwidth rates increasing—costs decreasing
• Network media remains diverse (terrestrial, satellite, wireless)
• Conditions vary—all networks prone to degradation over distance
Global Workflows—moving files and Big Data over WANs
• Teams are increasingly geographically dispersed, increased offshoring
• Over distance, network conditions degrade
• Contemporary TCP acceleration solutions not designed for big data transfer and replication
Cloud Computing Grows Up
• More choices: IBM SoftLayer, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, OpenStack
• No longer a niche – Netflix (transcoding), MTV (global video distribution), BGI (genomic
sequencing)

WHAT CONSTITUTES “BIG DATA”
ITS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK..

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 ,
• The path between 2 end points is never a straight line ?
TCP does not scale with bandwidth
• TCP designed for low bandwidth in 1970’s
• Adding more bandwidth does not improve throughput
Alternative Technologies
• TCP-based - Network latency and packet loss must be low
• Modified TCP – Improves TCP performance but insufficient for
fast networks
• UDP traffic blasters - Inefficient and waste bandwidth
• Data caching - Inappropriate for many large file transfer workflows
• Data compression - Time consuming and impractical for certain file types
• CDNs & co-lo build outs - High overhead and expensive to scale
8
CHALLENGES WITH TCP AND ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
The TCP Bottleneck

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)

THE SOLUTION: FASP™
FASP Overview

10
FASP® – PERFORMANCE BREAKTHROUGH
• FASP transfer speeds are not affected by distance
• Performance scales linearly as bandwidth increases
• Equally supports large files and large sets of small files
Benchmark Resources

11
EASY TO PROVE

FASP® – 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

Every day, SharePoint users are challenged…
UPLOADING …
to transfer large files and data sets…
to collaborate with global colleagues…
to adopt new workflows…
…assuming that they even try
You deserve to never struggle again

A macro-level view of SharePoint’s challenging future
The number of SharePoint
licenses shipped as reported
by Microsoft1. However, low
rates of user engagement
and adoption (~50%)
diminish the value.
A key source of SharePoint
dissatisfaction is the
painfully slow and
unpredictable transfer
speeds of large files and
data sets over distance by
distributed groups of users.
Limited125 Million Slow
SharePoint has file size and
storage limits that restricts
its use. This concerns IT as
the projected amount of
data created and copied
annually is doubling in size
every two years and by
2020 will measure 44
zetabytes.2

Key Takeaway
• Enterprise IT can benefit greatly by
improving SharePoint, which has
~80% market penetration in
Fortune 500 companies
Key Takeaway
• User experience and collaboration could
be improved considerably by simply
improving transfer speeds to save users
time
Key Takeaway
• File size and storage limits are
becoming increasingly problematic
as file sizes and volumes grow at an
accelerated rate
Many enterprises are significantly invested in SharePoint, but widespread adoption an emerging
use cases are often hindered
