3 WHO IS ASPERA? Software technology company innovating new data transfer solutions Based in Emeryville California Founded in 2004, now part of IBM Software Creators of the FASP protocol Innovative, patented, highly efficient bulk data transport technology Unique and core to Aspera s high-performance file transfer software suite Outperforms software and hardware WAN acceleration solutions Ranked first in every WAN transfer throughput benchmark Patents: FASP Bulk Data and Dynamic Bandwidth Control issued in USA and 30 other countries, others pending in over 32 countries Markets Served: Media and Entertainment, Federal Government, Life Sciences, Healthcare, Cloud Computing, Software and Gaming, Financial Services, Legal, ediscovery, Engineering, Technology, Telecommunications, Service Providers, Architecture and Design, Enterprise IT Global 24x7 Support: Support and sales offices in Sophia-Antipolis, Singapore, Virginia US, and Direct Sales and Sales Engineering throughout globe 3

4 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 4

5 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 Precise and predictable transfer times Extreme scalability (concurrency and throughput) 5
