This white paper introduces Aspera fasp in the context of ultra-high speed WAN data movement.
Through its design model and performance validation testing with leading storage vendors, we can see fasp as a next-generation protocol for reliable data transfer in file systems and applications that are presently impaired by the poor performance of TCP.
As an application layer transmission protocol, fasp not only overcomes the WAN data movement bottleneck, but also maximizes and stabilizes the throughput to local or network attached storage appliances.
