Globus Data Transfer Node
-
Globus is a non-profit service for secure, reliable research data management that can leverage our on-premises file space resources and provide cloud like services. With Globus, subscribers can move, share, and discover data via a single interface for file sharing, endpoint management and reporting. The RACS group has setup a Data Transfer Node (DTN) supporting the Globus service. This DNT has the ability to allow groups to mount lab owned file space or leverage the RACS provided file space (see Research Computing Storage) to share, transfer or manage data between internal and external groups. There is no cost to using the CEOAS Globus DTN. The only limit groups have will be the space provided either by the lab owned space or the space provided by RACS group. These spaces can be increased using research funding so if you are having issues please inquire about current cost models for purchasing space to the RACS redundant file server. CEOAS labs will have the ability to use the CEOAS Globus DTN very much like they would have used Google Drive or Box however we can now leverage on-premise file space reducing long term costs around large data stores that would have been in a paid cloud service. For example groups can setup automatic upload and downloads between CEOAS RACS and a cyber infrastructure provided by a granting agency like NSF or the USGS. This allows groups to leverage compute resources outside OSU more easily while including their own research data. Labs can also just setup folders to share files to other groups providing read or write access as needed. Please work with RACS staff to setup the Globus solution your lab will need and read more about Globus on their website https://www.globus.org.
