ESnet’s Petascale DTN Project Speeds up Data Transfers between Leading HPC Centers
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science operates three of the world’s leading supercomputing centers, where massive data sets are routinely imported, analyzed, used to create simulations and exported to other sites. Fortunately, DOE also runs a networking facility, ESnet (short for Energy Sciences Network), the world’s fastest network for science, which is managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Globus is software-as-a-service for research data management, developed at, and operated by, the University of Chicago. Globus provides high speed, secure file transfer; file sharing directly from existing stage systems; and data publication to institutional repositories, and is rapidly becoming the de facto file transfer tool on DTNs deployed in the Science DMZ. Vas will provide an overview and brief demonstration of Globus functionality, and will discuss common deployment requirements and best practices.
The Technology Exchange convenes U.S. and global technology leaders and visionaries in the fields of networking, security, trust and identity, virtualization, cloud services, high-performance computing, and storage to exchange technical ideas and knowledge. We are excited to continue our multi-year participation at the Tech Exchange and invite you to attend our presentation described below.
The Internet2 Global Summit showcases how the research and education community is transforming the way research and scholarship are conceived and conducted. This year's meeting will focus on the advancement of research capabilities through collaborative innovations in IT infrastructure and applications. Globus services are broadly used across dozens of Internet2 member institutions and we continue to work closely with Internet2 (and other networking groups such as ESnet) to optimize Globus on emerging high-speed network infrastructure.
