Do more than move files

Just using Globus for transfer? You're missing out! With a subscription you can check all the boxes for data management—and ensure your researchers have the tools their peers and collaborators are already using.

What you get with a Globus subscription:

File sharing

Enable researchers to share data with collaborators without having to request new accounts—all you need is their email address—saving time and effort for both researchers and admins
Avoid duplication of data on cloud storage, saving money and improving security
Automatically optimize and monitor movement of shared data between collaborators' systems, e.g. using faster networks when available

Access to premium capabilities

Manage protected data including data regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Personally Identifiable Information and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) (get details)
Gain access to premium connectors for on-premises and cloud systems, expanding the storage ecosystem for researchers. With a subscription, users can seamlessly access Amazon S3, Box, Google Cloud, Google Drive, Quantum ActiveScale, Spectra Logic BlackPearl, and more (see complete list of premium connectors)
Get HTTPS support to make storage accessible via a web browser, so you can browse, preview and download files without requiring Globus Connect Personal—all with full enforcement of user-specified access control
And more—only subscribers get access to the special features and capabilities we release on a regular basis, based on customer demand (see the full list of subscription features and add-ons)

Endpoint management & reporting

Find and resolve issues faster, e.g. proactively investigate jobs for issues; locate source of user issues; use the Globus command line interface to set up notifications about certain types of issues
Gain visibility and insights into how your storage and data are being used—who is doing what with their data on your systems, e.g. see which local accounts are sharing what with whom
Get more control over research data usage, e.g .proactively suspend/resume/cancel transfers if needed, pause activity to do maintenance without disrupting the user experience, modify network use parameters, and much more
Optimize transfer performance by tweaking endpoint settings
Get real-time and historical accounting into storage system usage
