We’re excited to announce that Globus now supports recurring and scheduled transfers. The new feature allows you to submit a job that will reliably request periodic transfers with a defined start time. For example, you can set up a daily, automatic sync to your back-up system or delay the start of a big transfer until midnight on Saturday or move data to archival storage once a week. Status of such scheduled jobs can be monitored and managed as well, and, unlike a cron job, your recurring transfers don’t depend on the availability of your system.

Advanced Research Computing Center:
Introduction to Globus for New Users, for Research Data Transfer/Sharing
We will provide a summary review of Globus features targeted at those researchers new to Globus. We will demonstrate how to transfer and share data, and install a Globus Connect Personal endpoint on your laptop. Some use cases will be demonstrated.
Last year marked the 10th anniversary of Globus, which launched in 2010 as the “Globus Online” service to connect researchers and make large-scale data transfer accessible to any researcher with an internet connection and a laptop.
Our annual event brings together researchers, systems administrators, developers and IT leaders from top computing centers, labs and universities. The event is designed to provide new insights into managing research data and storage at scale, as well as building and using cutting-edge applications, portals and gateways. This year's event will be virtual in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendance is free but registration is required.
Data volumes are exploding, and the need to efficiently store and share data quickly, reliably and securely—along with making the data discoverable—is increasingly important. Deliberate planning and execution are necessary to properly collect, curate, manage, protect and disseminate the data that are the lifeblood of the modern research enterprise.
