2 AGENDA AND OBJECTIVES 1) To show you how to spot an Aspera opportunity! 2) To outline the Aspera portfolio (Sales overview not technical) 3) To look at the Aspera opportunity from Sharepoint 4) Summary / Q and A / Close But interaction is welcomed throughout.. 5) But before all of that. This 2

3 HOW DO YOU SPOT AN ASPERA OPPORTUNITY 3 Key data characteristics to look for. Volume of Data? Large files or large volumes of smaller files Value of data? Distance data needs to be sent? Also, is Security important? Aspera encrypts data ensuring its secure.. 3

4 ABOUT ASPERA Software technology company innovating new data transfer solutions Based in Emeryville California Founded in 2004, now part of IBM Software (ToB July 1 st 2015) 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 TM 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, Brands, Enterprise IT Global 24x7 Support: Support and sales offices in Sophia-Antipolis, Singapore, Virginia US, and Direct Sales and Sales Engineering throughout globe 4

5 OUR MISSION Creating next-generation transport technologies that move the world s digital assets at maximum speed, regardless of file size, transfer distance and network conditions. 5

6 MARKET /INDUSTRY TRENDS Big Data Explosion Exponential growth in data sizes Mix of file sizes but larger files becoming the norm, 4K media files on the horizon? 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 files and Big Data over WANs Teams are increasingly geographically dispersed, increased offshoring Over distance, network conditions degrade Contemporary TCP acceleration solutions not designed for big data transfer and replication Cloud Computing Grows Up More choices: IBM SoftLayer, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, OpenStack No longer a niche Netflix (transcoding), MTV (global video distribution), BGI (genomic sequencing) 6

7 WHAT CONSTITUTES BIG DATA ITS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK..

8 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, The path between 2 end points is never a straight line? TCP does not scale with bandwidth TCP designed for low bandwidth in 1970 s Adding more bandwidth does not improve throughput Alternative Technologies TCP-based - Network latency and packet loss must be low Modified TCP Improves TCP performance but insufficient for fast networks UDP traffic blasters - Inefficient and waste bandwidth Data caching - Inappropriate for many large file transfer workflows Data compression - Time consuming and impractical for certain file types CDNs & co-lo build outs - High overhead and expensive to scale The TCP Bottleneck 8

9 THE SOLUTION: FASP 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) FASP Overview 9

10 FASP PERFORMANCE BREAKTHROUGH Benchmark Resources FASP transfer speeds are not affected by distance Performance scales linearly as bandwidth increases Equally supports large files and large sets of small files 10

11 EASY TO PROVE 11

12 FASP MANAGEMENT WITH ADAPTIVE RATE CONTROL Extraordinary bandwidth control Automatic, full utilization of available bandwidth Protection of other network traffic with fair policy Allows bursts in TCP traffic and reclaims unused bandwidth as it as it becomes available Real-time prioritization of transfers Highly-concurrent transfer stacking On-the-fly, per flow, user and job prioritization Concurrent transfers adjust bandwidth consumption on the fly, allocating available bandwidth based on transfer priority System-wide monitoring and reporting Real-time progress and performance analysis Real-time bandwidth utilization Detailed transfer history, logging and manifest FASP Summary 12

16 Aspera for Microsoft SharePoint Aspera for Microsoft SharePoint High-speed file transfers without file size and storage limits IBM Corporation

17 Aspera Aspera for for Microsoft Microsoft SharePoint SharePoint UPLOADING Every day, SharePoint users are challenged to transfer large files and data sets to collaborate with global colleagues to adopt new workflows assuming that they even try You deserve to never struggle again 2014 IBM Corporation 17

18 Aspera for Microsoft SharePoint A macro-level view of SharePoint s challenging future Many enterprises are significantly invested in SharePoint, but widespread adoption an emerging use cases are often hindered Scale The number of SharePoint licenses shipped as reported by Microsoft 1. However, low rates of user engagement and adoption (~50%) diminish the value. Speed 125 Million Slow A key source of SharePoint dissatisfaction is the painfully slow and unpredictable transfer speeds of large files and data sets over distance by distributed groups of users. Size Limited SharePoint has file size and storage limits that restricts its use. This concerns IT as the projected amount of data created and copied annually is doubling in size every two years and by 2020 will measure 44 zetabytes. 2 Key Takeaway Enterprise IT can benefit greatly by improving SharePoint, which has ~80% market penetration in Fortune 500 companies Key Takeaway User experience and collaboration could be improved considerably by simply improving transfer speeds to save users time Key Takeaway File size and storage limits are becoming increasingly problematic as file sizes and volumes grow at an accelerated rate EMC Digital Universe Study with data and analysis by IDC, April IBM Corporation 18
