TRENDS
3
Big Data Explosion 90% of data today file-based or unstructured
Mix of file sizesbut larger and larger files the norm
Diversity of IP NetworksMedia, Bandwidth Rates, and Conditions Variable bandwidth rates (slow to super-fast)
Bandwidth rates increasingcosts decreasing
Network media remains diverse (terrestrial, satellite, wireless) Conditions varyall networks prone to degradation over distance
Global Workflowsmoving Big Data over WANs Teams are geographically dispersed
Over distance, network conditions degrade
Contemporary TCP acceleration solutions not designed for big data transfer and
replication
Cloud Computing Grows Up More choices: SoftLayer, AWS, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, HP Cloud
No longer a niche Netflix (transcoding), MTV (global video distribution), BGI
(genomic sequencing)

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

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 with precise and
predictable transfer times
Extreme scalability (concurrency and throughput)

POWERING HIGH SPEED FILE EXCHANGE AT UNIVERSALPICTURES
Challenge
Complex post production processes involving manyentities both inside and outside the studio
Very large high-resolution media exchanged collaboratively across
the globe
Excessive setup and training requirements for each project
High security and audit requirements to protect critical IP
Solution Aspera faspexTM as a high-speed and secure way to send, receive and
share core digital assets globally between production facilities, post houses
and visual effects partners
In Their Words our approved standard for transferring content around the world
intuitive interface and set-up, new users simply go to a web page, click, drag
and drop. It couldnt be easier we can quickly set it up, use it for theproduction lifecycle, and then cycle it
back
