Aspera, Inc.'s slogan of "Moving the World's Data at Maximum Speed"Ā  is well defined by the company's latest software product line. The winner of the 65th Primetime Emmy Engineering Award, fasp is an innovative software which showcases theĀ  elimination of shortcomings of conventional, TCP-based file transfers (i.e FTP and HTTP). The Academy states: "Aspera's development of fasp technology has enabled the high-speed transfer and synchronization of file-based media data with complete visibility, tracking, bandwidth control and end-to-end security. Transferring file-based media with speed, integrity and security throughout the supply chain (regardless of distance) on low cost internet networks rather than shipping physical media via tapes or expensive dedicated satellite networks has proven to be an industry game changer. This is evidenced by the fact that the Aspera fasp file transfer software protocol is used on standard IP hardware to distribute content domestically and worldwide by over 1500 media organizations that include virtually all the major broadcast television networks, Hollywood studios and CG/animation houses." The expanding growth of digital data across the world is vital to business success. Aspera's patented and innovative fasp transfer technology achieves speeds 100 times faster than FTP/HTTP as well as guarantees delivery time irrelevant to the file size, transfer distance or network conditions, which include transfer over satellite, wireless, and unreliable international links!Ā  The ability to provideĀ  such a complete visible look into the bandwidth and control of the transfer rates and bandwidth sharing (with other networks), is the secure endpoint authentication, encryption on-the-fly and integrity verification that fasp offers. The fasp throughput is independent of network latency and packet loss which frequently occur on international WANs and on satellite, Wi-Fi or cellular connections. The end result is that fasp eliminates the need of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) coupling rate. Note: Standard TCP's flow rates requires the sender an acknowledgement for EACH data packet sent to the receiver. When the sender does not receive acknowledgement due to high network latency or packet loss, the sender assumes that the sending rate may be too fast- which means the transfer rate slows to a "crawl" and with the modern high-bandwidth WAN pipes becoming underutilized. The fasp patented performance approach enables maximum transfer speeds, without compromising congestion avoidance, and achieves ideal efficiency and full bandwidth utilization. "Aspera's technology not only provides significantly faster transmission speeds, which reduce the margin for error but also includes comprehensive security and data verification schemes to ensure that the possibility of corruption is reduced significantly. Plus, adaptive bandwidth control allows concurrent transfers to run with high efficiency, enabling us to meet strict deadlines." states Jonathan Humphrey, IT Director at Codemasters on the Apersoft.com The example provided from apersoft.com is the following: " ...over gigabit WANs with 1 second RTT and 5% packet loss, fasp achieves 700-800 Mbps file transfers on high-end PCs with RAID-0 and 400-500 Mbps transfers on commodity PCs. Large data sets of small files are transferred with the same efficiency as large single files. The implementation is very lightweight, and thus does not require specialized or powerful hardware in order to maintain high speeds or high concurrency." With the fasp's dynamic bandwidth control it allows for transfer speeds and bandwidth sharing whereas applications and end users can pre-set and change bandwidth priorities"on-the-fly", transfer and finishing time without the support of a network QoS. Also, a notable feature is the fasp security protocolĀ  which offers a comprehensiveĀ  "built-in" model which never compromises the transfer speed. The standard is based off open standards cryptography providing SSH end-point authentication, as it happens data encryption and data integrity verification which protects against "man-in-the-middle", re-play, and UDP denial-of-service-attacks.
