Overview
Globus is a data transfer tool which allows large amounts of data to be scheduled for transfer and is typically used for moving data between research organisations. As a service it enables fast, secure, transfers of research data between institutions which can be done in a variety of ways such as live via the web browser application, sheduled or automated to cope with growing data volumes.
Globus is particularly useful when transferring large files and high volumes of data, ensuring that performance is optimized and transfers monitored.
The service does offer an option to set up a multi-user endpoint, which we are working to set up for services including the RDSS alongside a ‘Science DMZ’ enabling fast and secure transfers of research data. Please keep an eye out for updates on this!
