Webinar: Managing research data with Globus

Date: Wednesday, 23 January 2019, 2:00PM Central European Time

Duration: 90 min

Content: Research and educational institutions continue to adopt Globus for managing research data. While core Globus capabilities - including reliable file transfer and secure sharing - are the primary focus, there is a growing need to provide robust mechanisms for accessing diverse resources as part of research workflows. Globus is built on a platform that facilitates development of science gateways, data portals, and other custom applications and services to support researchers. In this webinar, Greg demonstrated Globus capabilities from the perspective of a researcher, administrator, and application developer. This is a high-level introduction to all aspects of the Globus service, including the web application, command line interface, and platform-as-a-service features. Participants learned how to transfer and share data, and how to set up personal endpoints.
