Software and hardware requirements for optimal product
functionality
The following requirements apply to all Aspera Sync endpoints:
- Windows 7, 8, 2008r2, or 2012 operating system
- The async, asyncadmin, and asyncbench executables, which are available
either in the bin directory of an installation of version 3.5 or above of
Enterprise Server, Connect Server, or Point-to-Point, or by downloading from http://www.asperasoft.com/en/downloads/23.
- Aspera Enterprise Server, Connect Server, or Point-to-Point version 3.5 or above.
- Sync-enabled license for Enterprise Server, Connect Server, or Point-to-Point version 3.5 or
above.
- Firewall: Allow SSH connections on a non-default, configurable TCP port (for
example, TCP/33001).
- Sync uses the ascp binary to perform data transfer. For this reason, you
should verify performance by running an ascp transfer between the endpoints
(pushing and/or pulling) that you plan to sync. These tests will assist you in
verifying system performance and transfer speeds.
Note: Peer machines must be running compatible versions of Aspera Sync. The 3.5 version of
Sync requires peers with either Sync 3.5 or Sync 1.5.6. Installations of ES
(Enterprise/Connect Server, Point-to-Point, and Client) include these versions of Sync
as follows:
- ES 3.5 products include Sync 3.5.
- ES 3.4.6 products include Sync 1.5.6.
