AGENDA

HTTP

Key Value

TRANSFER DATA TO CLOUD OVER WAN EFFECTIVE THROUGHPUT

Multi-part HTTP

Typical internet conditions

•  50–250ms latency & 0.1–3% packet loss

15 parallel http streams

<10 to 100 Mbps

depending on distance

Aspera FASP Aspera FASP transfer over WAN to Cloud Up to 1Gbps *

10 TB transferred per 24 hours

* Per EC2 Extra Large Instance -independent of distance

5.4 X Speed Up

– Maximum speed single stream transfer

– Support for large files and directory sizes in a single transfer

– Network and disk congestion control provides automatic adaptation of transmission speed to avoid congestion and overdrive

– Automatic retry and checkpoint resume of any transfer from point of interruption

– Built in over-the-wire encryption and encryption-at-rest (AES 128)

– Support for authenticated Aspera docroots using private cloud credentials and platform-specific role based access control including Amazon IAMS.

– Seamless fallback to HTTP(s) in restricted network environments

– Concurrent transfer support scaling up to ~50 concurrent transfers per VM instance

Utilization > high w/m Available Pool

New Clients connect to “available” pool

Existing client transfers

Console • Collect / aggregate transfer data

• Transfer activity / reporting (UI, API)

Shares • User management • Storage access control

KEY COMPONENTS

•  Cluster Manager for Auto-scale and Scaled DB

•  Console Management UI + Reporting API •  Enhanced Client for Shares

Authorizations •  Unified Access to Files/Directories

(Browser, GUI, Commend Line, SDK)

Scaling Parameters •  Min/max number of t/s •  Utilization low/high

watermark •  Min number of t/s in

“available” pool •  Min number of idle t/s in

”available” pool

Management and Reporting

Cluster Manager •  Monitor cluster nodes •  Determine eligibility for

transfer scale up / down •  Create / remove db with

replicas •  Add / remove node

Scale DB Persistence Layer

HLS adaptive bitrate

FASPStream

•  Near Live experiences have highly bursty processing and distribution requirements

•  Transcoding alone is expected to generate 100s of varieties of bitrates and formats for a multitude of target devices

•  Audiences peak to millions of concurrent streams and die off shortly post event

•  Near “Zero Delay” in the video experience is expected

•  “Second screen” depends on near instant access / instant replay, which requires reducing

•  Linear transcoding approaches simply can not meet demand (and are too expensive for short term use!)

•  Parallel, “cloud” architectures are essential

•  Investing in on premise bandwidth for distribution is also impractical

•  Millions of streams equals terabits per second
