What users are saying...

As a resource administrator responsible for helping scientists move data among various systems and across organizations, I’ve found Globus an exceedingly useful tool.

Pete Eby Linux System Administrator, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The system is reliable and secure – and also amazingly easy to use. Our scientists don’t have to worry about about whether files can get where they need to go, or wonder about the best way to tune the system. It just works.

David Skinner Group Lead, NERSC

At University of Michigan we use Globus to form a campus-wide grid security infrastructure authentication service, spanning multiple servers that are accessed regularly by remote users. Now my users have a fast, easy way to get their data wherever it needs to go, and the setup process was trivial.

Brock Palen Senior HPC System Administrator, University of Michigan College of Engineering

Benefits For Your Users

  • Simple to use: Researchers just pick their data, source and destination, then click to transfer
  • Fire and forget transfer: Automation of manual tasks means users don’t have to babysit transfer jobs
  • Increased flexibility: Now all your researchers can have access to robust file transfer capabilities, whatever their location (researchers don’t have to be present at your facility to access or move files)
  • Reduced total time to move files: Globus is faster than most other methods: One user reported moving 75 GB in minutes, where the same transfer took over 4 hours using scp (read more metrics and user stories)

Benefits for You

  • Fast, easy enablement: No software installations or custom IT infrastructure required – just sign up, make your endpoints available, and point your users to the service
  • Automated authentication: Globus automatically trusts your existing users and supports one-time passwords (OTP) with no additional configuration
  • Secure enablement: Globus fits within your existing security infrastructure – no need to implement any new, complex security processes or systems
