Used Aspera's solution in one of my latest integration projects.
We needed the ability to upload large files over geographical spread sites.
By Aspera solution we were able to use all the bandwidth of network for the upload and download.
We were able to transfer files ( various sizes 0.5 - 9 GB ) over 10 / 15 Mbps networks , over the internet with the maximum provided bandwidth provided ( 10/15 Mbps) by using the Aspera's "fasp" solution.
Aspera supports much much larger rate , 1 GBbit and more.
Aspera's algorithm can use all the bandwidth that is provided by the WAN / LAN.
Depends on the license.
Before FTP was used and the max rate we saw was only round 500 kbps over the same 10/15 Mbps lines.
We got great service by the support , I am really recommend to use this solution.
it saved us a lot of time and created a great solution to our customers.

How did you use the Aspera client. Did you integrate it into C#? How was it?
Alex,
Thanks for this post and feedback. I'm curious if you evaluated any of the other commercial UDP-transfer solutions out there like Data Expedition or FileCatalyst.
Also, I was under the impression Aspera couldn't do much for the LAN. Can you cite any LAN transfer results which were better than FTP, as this is of great interest for a project we're on.
I've heard some pretty bad things about their (Aspera) support, so I was glad to hear you had a good experience.
Hi Lev, we integrate the Aspera client by C # api. Thank you for your help on this. Nevertheless the C# api by Aspera is not good documentedee. The sample which provided good for very simple scenario.
Lev added synchronization object to synchronize the communication between fasp manager and the listener.
If you run in the same process several times it is very important not to stop and restart the fasp manager on each iteration. It will hang on the second iteration. Loose the connection with the fssp manager.
During the integration with fasp we added some other tweaks. It took us not a small amount of time.
The C# api at the runtime forks the ascp.exe, Aspera cmd client.
At the end of the process we got a good solution.
Lev again thank you for your help.
Hello,
We didn't have chance to evaluate other UDP solution. We did integration with a partner that gave us two options FTP or Aspera.
We uploading the data to his site over internet.
We developed the client side, the server is not on our Lan. Still I think that if on the WAN we got great rates than on the LAN Athe rates will be good too.
The support was good, we got appropriate attention. Webex, direct call support, emails. We noticed that the knowledge on the .Net api was weak but on the ascp.exe it was great.
I will summarize and say that Aspera's solution is good money for value solution.
As mentioned before didn't have the chance to play with the server side.
If have more questions fill free to ask.
