Aspera Showcases Cloud Solutions at AWS re: Invent


AWS re: Invent, Booth #231, LAS VEGAS, NV & EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 27 – Aspera, Inc., creators of next-generation software technologies that move the world’s data at maximum speed, will showcase its latest cloud solutions at AWS re: Invent, Amazon Web Services’ first global customer and partner conference taking place on November 27-29 in Las Vegas, NV.

Aspera On Demand for AWS is the world’s first solution to offer seamless, line-speed ingest and distribution of very large media files to and from the AWS S3 service, independent of distance, and with complete security. Joint Aspera and AWS partners and customers, including Netflix, will be speaking about their experiences migrating to the cloud at the event.

Traditional WAN-based transport methods introduce unacceptable delays that prevent organizations from realizing the many inherent benefits of the cloud. Aspera unlocks the cloud’s virtually unlimited computing and storage resources for big data applications by delivering high-speed transfers in, out and across the cloud.

Built on its patented fasp high-speed transfer technology, Aspera On Demand delivers scale-out transfer capacity, enabling efficient, large-scale workflows, with enterprise-grade security. It features a variety of client options (web, mobile, embedded), and applications for ingest, sharing, collaboration and exchange of big data, all available on demand as a subscription service. Aspera On Demand for AWS solutions start with a transfer server running on the Amazon EC2 platform. The base option allows for high-speed transfers with Aspera desktop client software. The Aspera Application Platform option enables uploads and downloads with the Aspera Connect web browser plug-in and can be used to create custom applications with the purchase of the Aspera SDK. The Aspera Shares web application adds multi-node file sharing capabilities, Aspera faspex provides an easy-to-use interface for global file exchange and delivery.

Aspera customers and partners, such as Netflix, UFC, UEFA, Zencoder and SendToNews, use Aspera On Demand for AWS to meet their IT infrastructure needs, so they can focus their resources on core business functions, rather than building and maintaining complex data centers.

Throughout the event, Aspera experts will be on hand in booth #231 to demonstrate the full range of Aspera On Demand solutions for the AWS cloud.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Best Practices in Big Data Storage

05/10/2013 | Cleversafe, Cray, DDN, NetApp, & Panasas | From Wall Street to Hollywood, drug discovery to homeland security, companies and organizations of all sizes and stripes are coming face to face with the challenges – and opportunities – afforded by Big Data. Before anyone can utilize these extraordinary data repositories, however, they must first harness and manage their data stores, and do so utilizing technologies that underscore affordability, security, and scalability.

Exploring the Potential of Heterogeneous Computing

04/02/2012 | AMD | Developers today are just beginning to explore the potential of heterogeneous computing, but the potential for this new paradigm is huge. This brief article reviews how the technology might impact a range of application development areas, including client experiences and cloud-based data management. As platforms like OpenCL continue to evolve, the benefits of heterogeneous computing will become even more accessible. Use this quick article to jump-start your own thinking on heterogeneous computing.
