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.
In the HPC world, under-the-covers tools for things like file transfer aren't usually the story. It's what happens before and after data is moved that tends to get the headlines. The data movement itself? Not so much.
Check out this photo of U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry using Globus to send 500GB of data between Argonne National Lab and NERSC. See the original ESnet post here or read the blog post here.
In this session entitled "Accelerating Research Innovation with Next-Gen Storage Infrastructure," we will introduce Globus for ActiveScale, a cost-effective solution for on-premise object storage that’s simple to deploy and use. Attendees will learn how to deploy and use Globus for ActiveScale, see a product demonstration and egage in a live Q&A session with the Globus Chief Customer Officer.
Chicago, IL – March 13, 2018 – Globus, the leading research data management service, today announced the lineup of speakers for its annual user conference, GlobusWorld 2018, which will be held in Chicago, IL on April 25-26, 2018.
We're presenting a series of Globus tutorials and developer workshops across the US, showing the research community how to leverage the Globus platform to build applications and accelerate their research through automation. We hope to see you at our tour stop in Raleigh!
