globus is software-as-a-service, that enables researchers to move, share, and publish big data. we developed this service to address the challenges faced by researchers at universities and other non-profit institutions in managing the massive amounts of data that are commonplace in most disciplines. with globus, you hand off data movement tasks to a hosted service that manages the entire operation, monitoring performance and errors, retrying failed transfers, and correcting problems automatically whenever possible. you can also share data with collaborators directly from existing storage systems - no need to move it to expensive cloud storage. and when you're ready to publish, globus provides a structured yet flexible workflow for describing, curating, and publishing your data so that others may discover it. globus takes care of necessary but mundane it tasks so that you can focus on your research.
