Globus is software-as-a-service for research data management, used by hundreds of research institutions and HPC facilities worldwide for secure, reliable file transfer, sharing and publication. Using Globus is easy-- all that’s required is a standard internet connection to initiate data sharing or transfers from anywhere to anywhere using any web browser. Users can easily share data with individuals or groups using any existing identity or email address, without needing to add new accounts on the system where the shared data is stored. Authentication is handled automatically, and for data movement Globus manages the process with unsurpassed reliability, even for massive transfers. Globus provides instant access to over 50,000 registered storage endpoints, including all XSEDE systems and systems at over 80% of the largest research universities in the U.S. New storage endpoints of all types can easily be added, including personal laptops, lab servers, and supercomputers. Globus is an initiative of the University of Chicago, and is supported in part by funding from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Sloan Foundation.
