fasp™ 2.2 Update Details
1. New server configuration system

Provides enforcement of server transfer policies via automatic negotiation with clients. Server policies are configurable server-wide and per individual users and groups, and are automatically applied to the client transfer, including:

• Bandwidth policies – target and mininum rate caps, transfer policy, and maximum transfer priority
• Encryption policies – transport and content encryption requirements
• Authorization criteria – user docroots now configurable by group, including Active Directory groups
• Aggregate bandwidth control through Aspera VLink technology – now configurable by group, with default and maximum bandwidth priority by user
• Advanced file handling capabilities – transfer manifest, exclude filters and full-job ETA reporting

2. Central management capabilities supporting Aspera Console

fasp 2.2 enables advanced management capabilities through Aspera Console – Aspera's network-wide management, monitoring and control interface:

• Remote configuration of Aspera Enterprise Server and Point-to-Point nodes
• Server to server transfer capability with docroot support
• Job-based reporting and email notification available for Hot Folder transfers – file sets dropped into a hot folder are grouped as one job, with unified reporting and email notification
• Automatic reconnection of nodes to Aspera Console on failure

3. Disk-based rate control technology

A patent-pending innovation that extends Aspera's adaptive rate control to further optimize transfer throughput:

• Provides congestion avoidance for transfers over fast networks exceeding the storage bandwidth
• Prevents overdrive of relatively slower storage or file systems
• Maintains stable, high throughput for single and concurrent transfers

4. New capabilities supporting web-based applications

• Token authorization for HTTP fallback and external authorization can now be used concurrently on the same server
• JavaScript APIs for Aspera Connect enable folder uploads on Windows Vista and Linux and encryption at rest on all platforms
