Globus Connect Server is the software installed by institutions to connect storage and data to the Globus ecosystem, so users can leverage the rich data management platform Globus offers. To expand the capabilities offered by Globus, work is underway on the next generation Globus Connect Server to provide enhanced endpoint management, more versatile data access interfaces, and improved deployment models. These new capabilities will be built out as a series of releases of version 5 of the software, with incremental functionality made available with each release.

At this year's JupyterCon, Globus Co-Founder and Argonne Data Science and Learning Division Director Ian Foster will present on "Scaling Collaborative Data Science with Globus + Jupyter": 11:05am–11:45am Thursday, August 23, 2018. For session details, click here.
As we announced last week at GlobusWorld, the hosted CLI (legacy CLI) is currently deprecated and support for it will be discontinued on August 1, 2018. The hosted CLI has been replaced by the native CLI application (https://docs.globus.org/cli/) which has been available in production since April 2017.

Most of us are now comfortable with cloud computing, enough to often take it for granted. Whether it’s saving our photos in cloud storage, accessing our email from multiple devices, or streaming a high-definition video on the bus, moving data to and from a distant computing center has become second nature.

At this year's Geoscience Digital Data Resource and Repository Service (GeoDaRRS) Workshop hosted by NCAR, our Head of Products Rachana Ananthakrishnan will present on "Publication Throughout the Research Data Lifecycle" on August 7 at 2:35 p.m. Review the agenda here.
Research institutions face a set of unique challenges for managing, sharing, and storing large amounts of data sets. Join us for a live webinar May 22, 2018 at 11 a.m. EDT and learn to:
HPC and computing resources now reach an ever increasing and wider audience, extending out from the “usual suspects” in traditional modeling and simulation, into what is now being called the proverbial “long tail of science”. In support of this long tail, a new breed of research software engineers, research computing facilitators and scientists are needed. Even the very computer systems themselves are getting monikers related to such “long tails”. Recent NSF machines Jetstream and Comet as two very visible examples are each named as a hat tip to “long tails”.
In the sixth and final article in this series, we turn our attention from on-premise to cloud-based storage. I’ll be addressing four primary types of cloud storage: file storage, object storage, cold storage and file systems, first defining each and then providing my views on how each might be used for research.
Defining Cloud Storage Options: The Facts
Here's a quick overview of the 4 types of cloud storage...
Although ESnet is well known for its expertise in supporting the transfer of datasets across the country and around the globe, for the past four years the facility's staff has also been transferring their networking expertise to staff at other research and education organizations.

Globus is a host of this year's LUG, April 24-26, 2018 at Argonne National Laboratory. LUG provides technical sessions on the latest Lustre developments and best practices, while providing opportunities to share information, network, and collaborate with your peers. The OpenSFS Board election results will also be announced.
