Trends
4
Big data explosion
• 90% of digital data today file-based or unstructured
• Mix of file sizes—but larger and larger files the norm
Growth and diversity in IP networks – Media, bandwidth rates & 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 – real time experiences over WANs are expected
• Teams are geographically dispersed
• Over distance, network conditions degrade to majorly impact large transfers & streams
• Contemporary TCP acceleration solutions not designed for big data transfer and replication
Cloud computing matures
• More choices: IBM Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google, Oracle, Alibaba, etc.
• No longer a niche – becoming prevalent across many industries including Media & Entertainment, Life Sciences,
Manufacturing & Engineering, Financial Services, Oil & Gas, etc.

Can’t reliably send, share, and sync large files and data sets over global internet
connections
Unable to move big data at high-speed with existing network bandwidth
Subject to slower times and more congestion for global file transfers across public
internet, corporate MPLS, wireless and mobile networks
Limited options to access and store data across cloud, hybrid or on-premises
infrastructures
Need greater security & more control in moving files & data sets to employees,
researchers, vendors, & external data centers, without impacting other traffic

Aspera on Cloud –
Features in preview

Summary: Aspera on Cloud secure package delivery will automatically encrypt at rest all files,
using a unique per session key. Unique key is stored in IBM key vault. Package receiver is
required to acknowledge sender delivery terms, prior to receiving an access key to the IBM key
vault. Access to the IBM key vault requires two factors: user ID and the access key to the vault.
With both factors, receiver can access the decryption key and proceed to decrypt file on
download.
Details of joint solution:
–Secure: Unique per session encryption key is automatically created as part of delivery session
initiation, used to encrypt the files on upload (server side encryption at rest) and added to the
IBM Key vault.
–Smart: Sender can assign customizable delivery terms, which is documented in hyperledger
smart contract.
–Transparent: All file movement, access to encryption keys, acknowledgement of terms and
decryption events are logged in hyperledger
–Verifiable: Hyperledger access is controlled by Aspera on Cloud and searchable for asset
delivery tracking, and decryption
In preview - trusted & verifiable package delivery
Powered by blockchain

Summary: This integrated solution with Irdeto will enable Aspera on Cloud package
delivery to automatically add a forensic watermark to files during download using a unique
per session identifier. Unique watermark identifiers are recorded to the hyperledger,
together with the receivers identifier. Package receiver is required to acknowledge sender
delivery terms, prior to being authorized to download the file.
Details of joint solution:
–Secure: Aspera on Cloud automatically and uniquely watermarks all files during
download
–Smart: Sender can require receiver to acknowledge specific delivery terms prior to
download. Terms and receiver acknowledgement are documented in hyperledger smart
contract.
–Transparent: All file movement, access to encryption keys, acknowledgement of terms
and watermark events are logged in hyperledger
–Verifiable: Hyperledger access is controlled by Aspera on Cloud and searchable for asset
delivery tracking, and watermarking

Best use case requirements

Key points of SMPTE 2022-7 Spec
• Cost effective error free transport of video is a constant goal
• As costs of redundant network paths decrease, sending redundant streams becomes more viable
• This standard defines requirements on redundant streams such that a receiver could switch
datagram by datagram without impact to the content or the stream
69
Live broadcast television in the past duplicated signals in case one of the signals had trouble. Simply,
redundant signal paths. That practice is still used and used in OTT (Over the Top) broadcast.
SMTPE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) came up with a specification to address
this issue within the context of the RTP, Realtime Transmission Protocol, known as SMPTE-2022-7.

Currently in preview, this capability in the platform is done in the spirit of SMPTE-2022-7. It is agnostic to data type
and a closed system, hence the technology breaks from the interoperability of the standard.
While providing redundant transmission of data as a primary feature, this feature is able to manually (future:
automatically) alter an individual contributing data connection should it degrade in quality. For now, we can stop
and start connections on the fly without disrupting the data flow.
