Optimize data transfer to remote servers by enabling Aspera FASP technology

With Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.6, you can optimize data transfer to a remote server by enabling Aspera® Fast Adaptive Secure Protocol (FASP®) technology. Aspera is an IBM® company.

You can use Aspera FASP technology to improve data throughput in a wide area network (WAN) that shows signs of high packet loss, data transfer delays that are caused by network impairment, or both. Depending on your hardware and software environment, you can enable Aspera FASP technology to optimize network bandwidth use. Aspera FASP technology can be used in the following situations:
  • To protect data in a directory-container storage pool
  • To replicate client node data in a container storage pool
