The goal of the tutorial is to introduce researchers and systems administrators to the easy-to-use Globus Online services for moving and sharing large amounts of data. Increasingly computational- and data-intensive science makes data movement and sharing across organizations inevitable. The cloud-hosted Globus Online service offers dropbox-like simplicity for big data.
In this tutorial, attendees will learn how to perform fire-and-forget file transfer, sharing, and synchronization between their local machine, campus clusters, regional supercomputers and national cyberinfrastructure using Globus Online, via both Web and command line interfaces.
Tutorial attendees will also learn how to install Globus Connect Multiuser on their campus cluster to provide data transfer endpoints to their users. The tutorial will include instruction on using Globus Online via the CLI, using scripts for controlling Globus Online operations; and how to use the Globus transfer REST API, for programmatic interaction with Globus Online. By the end of the tutorial, participants will have the tools and information required to provide their users with Globus Online’s full range of benefits.
