At IBC 2016, Aspera, an IBM company and creator of technologies that move the world's data at maximum speed, will demonstrate the new FASP 3.7 core transport platform for its high-speed file transfer software and workflow automation solutions used by the broadcast and media industries including new joint solutions powered by Aspera FASP .
Aspera pioneered high speed, secure file transfer over commodity Internet WANs for the media and entertainment industry at IBC 2004. Since then, the media supply chain has come to depend upon high-speed transfer in virtually every workflow. Cloud computing and storage are now ubiquitous, and the pace of production now demands instant-on transfer services.
To meet the needs of the evolving media landscape, twelve years later at IBC 2016 Aspera launches a second era of innovation with significant new capabilities in the FASP 3.7 platform:
FASPStream for Live Event Streaming- A new open turnkey video transport solution and winner of this year's HPA Engineering Excellence award, FASPStream enables broadcast-quality live streaming over commodity Internet networks, allowing users to stream media globally with glitch-free playout and negligible start-up time. Building on the efficiency of the FASP protocol, the solution out performs forward error correction over UDP and CDNs by maintaining stream quality over distance without start-up delay. An ideal solution to eliminate expensive and limited satellite-based backhaul, transport, and distribution, FASPStream allows video from anywhere to everywhere using low cost Internet.
Streams over WAN directly to Object Storage - FASP 3.7 expands object storage support enabling stream to object store ingest over WANs at high-speed. Users can now receive streams and write directly to object/persistent storage (Hadoop, Swift, S3, etc.) and to real time message queue platforms (e.g. Kafka) simultaneously.
High-Performance Clustered Transfers - The multi-node transfer capability in Aspera transfer servers and Point-to-Point Client software enables mass data transfers to cloud storage clusters (e.g. 120 Terabytes migrated per day). Replicate mass data sets including large directories and individual large files using multiple computers in a cluster (or multiple cores), including Direct-to-Cloud storage.
Enhanced Autoscale Transfer Cluster Management for Cloud - Aspera's popular auto-scaling and auto-provisioning clusters for cloud based transfer management now includes cluster nodes upgraded for enhanced networking on cloud infrastructure enabling 2 Gigabit per second transfer capacity per node, and provides seamless automatic provisioning in VPC clusters, custom auto-boot scripts, and running upgrades. Now fully integrated in the latest version of Aspera Console, Autoscale cluster transfers can be monitored in real-time and are included in Console historical reports.
Massively Parallel I/O and Small File Performance with ascp4 - The new ascp4 achieves breakthrough performance for file transfers by taking advantage of parallel I/O (e.g., lots of small files over 10 Gbps, clustered file systems). This new binary now ships with all transfer server and Point-to-Point Client products and has the ability to transfer 1 million files per minute, which equates to 10 Gigabits per second for DPX files around the world. The latest features support transfer with object storage (10 - 100X HTTP multi-part for small files) and file skip, resume, and attribute preservation.
Super Scalable Watchfolder - The new Aspera Watchfolder brings sought after capabilities to group files and directories and order their arrival based on a manifest, automatically transfer growing files, and scales up to monitor changes in even very large file systems with speed and fast snapshot updates using the new Asperawatchd file system notification service.
Aspera Sync & Proxy - Aspera Sync, a powerful bi-directional synchronization software now supports cloud storage and has new capabilities for faster performance, distributed file watching, and improved reporting, and is now fully supported by Aspera Proxy, the high-speed forward and reverse proxy software for Aspera transfers. Now available in version 1.4, Proxy supports chained proxies and HA deployments.
The FASP 3.7 platform makes possible new capabilities in Collaborative File Exchange, including the new Aspera Files SaaS and the latest generations of Aspera Faspex and Aspera Shares:
Aspera Files SaaS - Aspera's new groundbreaking multi-tenant SaaS solution for sharing large files and data sets directly from cloud and on premise storage launched in late 2015 and now has over 1000 organizations on boarded. Since its launch, Aspera has introduced over 20 new features and APIs across the platform for 3rd party Collaboration, fine-grained privacy controls, Enterprise Single Sign-on, Media Preview Carousels for managing large numbers of videos and photos and instant provisioning of shared folders on any 3rd party cloud or on premises storage.
At IBC 2016 Aspera is introducing a new flexible Pay-as-you-go option in addition to pre-committed volume annual plans that can be purchased directly from the new Aspera Store online. Users can view all transfer usage for Aspera Files and On Demand plans in the new Aspera Usage Portal to displays all transfer usage for your Files and On Demand plans. It is now available with
Aspera Faspex and Shares - Aspera's suite of single-tenant high speed, secure file sharing applications for on-premises and on cloud, Aspera Faspex and Shares have a large number of new features such as unified SAML, directory and local authentication, expanded metadata handling, recipient management, email notifications, and custom branding. Dramatically expanded APIs enable distributed package relay, delayed package publishing, share authorization, and local, directory
