Trends
4
Big Data Explosion– 90% of data today file-based or unstructured– Mix of file sizes—but larger and larger files the norm
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 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
6
Distance degrades conditions on all networks
TCP performance degrades with distance
TCP does not scale with bandwidth
Alternative Technologies are inferior

FASP™ — High-performance Data Transport
7
Maximum transfer speed Congestion Avoidance and Policy Control Uncompromising security and reliability Scalable management, monitoring and
control Low Overhead Resulting in
– Transfers up to thousands of times faster than FTP
– Precise and predictable transfer times– Extreme scalability (concurrency and
throughput)

FASP™ – performance breakthrough
8
TCP transfer times limited by packet loss, delay (network distance) NOT BANDWIDTHAspera transfer times shorten linearly with bandwidthIndependent of packet loss, delay (network distance)
Cross US – Add 1% to 5% Intercontinental – Add 1% to 10% Satellite – Add 1% to 10%
