MANUFACTURERS FACE A DELUGE OF DATA

90% of engineers share over 10 design files per month,

42% share over 100 and 16% share over 1,000

Gartner expects a 30X increase in connected devices by 2020 significantly increasing supply

chain data

3/4s of manufacturers are not satisfied with file sharing

and data sync tools

Manufacturers, engineering teams and design firms are managing rapidly growing data volumes and file sizes

FUNDAMENTAL BIG DATA SHARING CHALLENGES

Size & VolumeCant reliably send, share, and sync large files (e.g. CAD) and data sets (e.g. simulation data) over global internet connections

SpeedUnable to move big data at high-speed over existing bandwidth, especially in manufacturing regions with limited bandwidth (e.g. Asia)

DistanceSubject to slower times and more congestion for global file transfers across public internet, corporate networks and wireless/mobile networks

ControlNeed greater security and control moving data to engineers, designers, test facilities, business partners, production sites and customers, without impeding other traffic

6

SLOW DATA TRANSFERS ARE BAD FOR BUSINESS

Production delays and downtime

Inefficient development cycles

Low engineering productivity

Slow time to market

Risk of lost IP or sensitive data

Skyrocketing business and IT costs (e.g. duplicative datacenters, physically shipping hard drives, etc)

7

Automatic detection & full utilization of available bandwidth Ramps up in real time to use unclaimed bandwidth Fair policy protection of other network traffic

ASPERA FASP: A BETTER WAY TO TRANSFER DATA

8

Share large design & engineering files with global teams in minutes, not days

Reliably deliver files to manufacturing sites anywhere in the world, regardless of network conditions

THE IBM ASPERA HIGH SPEED FILE SHARING SUITE

Protect sensitive IP with end-to-end security and real-time transfer control and reporting

Simplify collaboration with easy-to-use, folder-based file sharing from your desktop or mobile

Leading manufacturer with over 30 million sq. feet of production space

Challenge Need to move time-sensitive CAD models, circuit diagrams and design files across

2,500 internal and external users Legacy file transfer tool was slow, costly and unreliable for moving large files

across global users, slowing down business File size limits required users to spend hours splitting & compressing files Also looking for a cloud enabled solution that would allow them to scale

Solution Aspera Faspex with native support for the cloud was chosen to provide secure,

high-speed global file sending Easy-to-use with email style file sending and automated notifications, little to no

training required Integration with existing user access management tools simplified security

HOW ELSE DO MANUFACTURERS USE ASPERA?

Global File Sharing for Engineering Collaboration

Large Data Migration for Simulation Testing

Syncing Code for Follow-the-Sun Development

High-Speed Cloud Ingest for Predictive Analytics

Retrieval of Customer Data for Product Support

Fast Mobile Transfers for Remote Reporting

14

Distance Independent FASP transfer speeds remain virtually constant as transfer distances increase while FTP speeds dramatically decrease

Predictable & ReliableFASP transfer times decrease linearly as bandwidth increases. However, FTP transfer times dont improve with bandwidth

Highly SecureSupports encryption in transit and at rest for moving highly sensitive data across the enterprise and retail locations (e.g. sensitive IP, credit card transactions, customer prescriptions, etc)

USER FRIENDLY APPLICATIONS

CASE STUDY

NETAPP DRASTICALLY REDUCES SUPPORT RESPONSE TIMES WITH HIGH-SPEED TRANSFER OF CUSTOMER DATA

NetApp is a leading provider of software, services and hardware systems for securely storing and managing enterprise data. Their Customer Success Services (CSS) team provides around-the-clock support for users of their products.

Challenge On occasion, the CSS team needs to ingest customer data, reaching 130GB in size, into their

datacenter in California for debugging Existing web-based transfer tools were highly unreliable, slowing down issue resolution and requiring

NetApp to fly support engineers to customer sites to manually retrieve data

Solution Aspera Point-to-Point software and Connect Browser plug-in were integrated into NetApps customer

web portal, leveraging complex algorithms to route files from customer sites to CSS teams at the fastest speeds possible

Results Global customers can now upload files to CSS teams over 10 times faster, helping reduce

turnarounds on support tickets With Aspera, NetApp no longer needs to build local data ingest sites, saving them $1 million

CASE STUDY

AUTOMAKER MIGRATES LARGE DATA TO REMOTE HPC SERVERS FOR CRITICAL SIMULATIONS

COMMERCIAL TRUCK MANUFACTURER

A freight truck manufacturer needs to transfer 100s of gigabytes of vehicle and sensor data from global sites to a central HPC cluster for simulation testing

Challenge Massive amounts of vehicle data need to be sent over the internet from global design teams to a

central HPC site in the USA for critical simulation crash tests Existing file transfer methods were unreliable, slow, and provided limited transfer control, often times

congesting the network

Solution Aspera Point-to-Point and Sync software were deployed to synchronize massive amounts of vehicle

data across global sites at high-speed Processed simulation results are placed in an Aspera hot folder, automatically distributing them to

remote engineers using all available bandwidth without impacting other network traffic

Results In one test, the transfer of 5GB files from Europe to the USA was reduced from hours to minutes Reduced wait times allow teams to iterate design fasters, accelerating time to market The manufacturer is able to fully utilize centralized HPC resources around the clock, saving them the

expense of building out additional HPC sites around the world25

CASE STUDY

PACECO IMPROVES INVENTORY REPORTING WITH FAST MOBILE IMAGE UPLOADS

PACECO, the world leader in manufacturing cargo containers, developed a mobile imaging solution for tracking and reporting containers around the world

Challenge PACECOs Mobile Inventory Vehicle (MIV) photographs a containers unique identifier and then

uploads images via cellular network to the ports central storage The technology used to transmit images was slow and failed often, resulting in reporting delays and

wasted resources manually tracking down containers

SolutionExisting transfer technology was replaced with Aspera Enterprise Server and Embedded Client providing automated, high-speed mobile image transmission integrated into the existing application

Results With the Aspera solution, PACECO, has cut image transmission times in half with 100% reliability,

ensuring real-time tracking The faster and shorter transmission times allows PACECO to save bandwidth and consume less

mobile data, resulting in significant cost savings
