Managing research data and compute tasks is increasingly complex and time-consuming, especially with the scale of modern instruments and collaborative projects. This session offers a practical overview of how Globus services enable the automation of research data and compute management, and thus eliminates repetitive manual steps and accelerates progress across every stage of the research data lifecycle.
We will present an overview of capabilities in the Globus platform for automation use cases, including routine data backup and integrity checks, end-to-end management of data from instruments such as cryoEM, next-generation sequencers, and fMRI. The presentation will share case studies where these services are used to support instrument data processing at scale from acquisition, to analysis and publication, and for cases where automation is used to enforce best practices and secure policies.
