IGS manages the collection, storing and distributing of terabytes of genomic research data globally. Due to increasing file sizes from an average 5GB to 20GB, data move¬ment over FTP faced growing reliability problems, especially with international long distance transfers. FTP was delivering under 20% network utilization and frequent con¬nection failures were resulting in excessive re-transmission.
Aspera Sync is purpose-built by Aspera for highly scalable, multidirectional asynchronous file replication and synchronization. Sync is designed to overcome the bottlenecks of conventional synchronization tools like rsync and scale up and out for maximum speed replication and synchronization over WANs, for today’s largest big data file stores —from millions of individual files to the
In this digital world, fast and reliable movement of digital data, including massive sizes over global distances, is becoming vital to business success across virtually every industry. The Trans¬mission Control Protocol (TCP) that has traditionally been the engine of this data movement, however, has inherent bottle¬necks in performance (Figure 1), especially for networks with high
Allin was faced with the question of how to efficiently distribute dozens of movies to hundreds of customer sites. Allin needed a solution that could accommodate extremely dense traffic during peak periods at the beginning of each month, when up to 30 new film titles must be shipped out to each location simultaneously.
Setting the record for highest aggregate attendance of any sporting event in history, Euro2012 attracted an even larger audience through TV broadcasting, with approximately 150 million people tuning in around the world each day. Run by the Union of European Football Associates (UEFA), Euro2012 took place June 8 – July 1, 2012, with 31 matches
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides reliable data delivery under ideal conditions, but has an inherent throughput bottleneck that becomes obvious, and severe, with increased packet loss and latency found on long-distance WANs. Adding more bandwidth does not change the effective throughput. File transfer speeds do not improve and expensive bandwidth is underutilized.
Cloud computing has become a viable, mainstream solution for data processing, storage and distribution. Adoption is accelerating — Amazon Web Services (AWS) has gone from 262 billion objects stored in its S3 cloud storage in 2010, to over 1 trillion in 2012. However, companies that work with big data have been unable to realize the
Aspera’s fasp transfer technology is an innovative software that eliminates the fundamental bottlenecks of conventional file transfer technologies such as FTP, HTTP, and Windows CIFS and dramatically speeds transfers over public and private IP networks. The approach achieves perfect throughput efficiency, independent of the latency of the path and is robust to packet losses. In
