ARC Director Brock Palen spoke about Globus at SC22

By | General Interest, News

At the recent International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis in Dallas (SC22) in Dallas, Tx., ARC Director Brock Palen spoke about how the University of Michigan is using Globus File Transfer. Globus allows the transfer of data between different storage systems, lab computers, and personal desktops/laptops.

“U-M is the largest public research university in North America by research spend. There are over a hundred top 10 graduate programs, and this drives a lot of interesting collaborations,” said Palen.  

Globus is a robust, cloud-based, file transfer service designed to move many large files, ranging from 10s of GBs to 10s of TBs. ARC is a Globus Subscription Provider for the U-M community, which allows U-M resources to serve as endpoints or collections for file transfers.

“Globus is the tool we use for data transfer, and it’s pretty much ubiquitous across Internet2, the national sites, other academic sites, and it interoperates everywhere,” Palen noted.

Globus 101 webinar scheduled for Oct. 6

By | Educational, Events, General Interest, News

The OU Supercomputing Center for Education & Research (OSCER) is hosting a webinar on managing research data with Globus. Globus is software-as-a-service for research data management and provides high speed, secure file transfer; file sharing directly from existing stage systems; and data publication to institutional repositories. Developed and operated by the University of Chicago, Globus has become a preferred service for moving and sharing data between and among a wide variety of storage systems at research labs, campus computing resources, and national facilities across the US. In this session, you will learn about the features of the Globus service, and how to use it to streamline your research data flows. The webinar will help you answer these questions: How can Globus help me overcome the challenges I face in moving increasingly “big” datasets? How can I share data with collaborators at other institutions more efficiently? How can I use Globus to more easily leverage large-scale computing resources, both on campus and beyond? The presentation is aimed at those new to Globus, but attendees with prior Globus experience may also benefit by learning about new and planned features.
