Bio IT World, Boston, MA – September 21, 2021 – Today Globus announced support for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, providing the research community with secure, reliable, and easy to use data management services for Microsoft’s massively scalable and secure object storage for cloud-native and hybrid workloads, data lakes, high-performance computing, and machine learning.
To accommodate database upgrades, Globus Auth and Transfer services will be unavailable for up to 30 minutes beginning at 10 am US Central on Saturday, September 18, 2021.
During this planned downtime, the following will be impacted:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide leadership and direction for research programs aimed at enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing illness and disability. Data is an important ingredient for—and a product of—these projects. Historically, each program has managed the data it produces independently. Among the NIH institutes, a program called the Common Fund sponsors a portfolio of ambitious initiatives, each of which generates biomedical data of high value to the research community.
During the month of July Globus transferred over 800 Terabytes of data on Comet, a dedicated NSF funded eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) cluster at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). While Comet is now officially retired, users will still have access to the Comet filesystems via Globus to facilitate data migration.
The GlobusWorld Tour provides an interactive forum for learning about and experimenting with the Globus service. In this comprehensive workshop we provide a summary review of Globus features targeted at those new to Globus, and demonstrate core features from the perspective of a researcher. For system administrators, we review the process for installing and configuring Globus endpoints on various storage systems. And for developers, we introduce Globus platform services and demonstrate how you may leverage them in your own applications and automated data flows.
November 14, 2021 (All day) to November 18, 2021 (All day)
St. Louis, MO and Online
Whether you are new to Globus or an experienced user, we would like to engage with you at SC21. Let us introduce you to all the benefits of the Globus service and update you on some of the new developments.

Title: Enabling Secure Data Discoverability
Speakers: Vas Vasiliadis and Rachana Ananthakrishnan, University of Chicago, Globus
Over the past few years Globus Labs has participated in two student summer lab programs at the University of Chicago - the Center for Data and Computing (CDAC) Summer Lab Program, and the BigDataX Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, which is funded by the NSF. This year the two programs include 65 students, and five of the students are working with Globus Labs.

Your NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award will support acquisition and operation of critical instrumentation to facilitate advances in fundamental research—but the volume of data the instrument generates will also create challenges for systems administrators and investigators alike. Join us to learn how Globus can help alleviate these data management challenges by automating data flows and facilitating data access for researchers and their collaborators.
