Globus Connect Server v5 Deployment and Migration
Globus Connect Server v5 (GCSv5) introduced a new architecture and deployment model for the software that enables access to storage systems via the Globus service. We will provide an overview of the GCSv5 architecture, installation and configuration. We will review the key changes that system administrators should be aware of when deploying new Globus endpoints and will discuss the process for migrating from prior versions of Globus Connect Server to GCSv5.
We are delighted to see NSF announce the 2022 edition of the Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program. Over the years, this program has greatly enhanced research infrastructure at institutions of all sizes, particularly by supporting the deployment of the Science DMZ infrastructure that is so important for data-intensive research.
Scientific experimentation frequently generates enormous quantities of data. And, just as frequently, this data cannot be handled at the point where it is created and has to be moved to either large supercomputing clusters or the cloud. This process of moving data requires high-tech software packages that can transport large quantities of information seamlessly, reliably and quickly, all over the world.
