The acquisition of Globus, a premier data transfer service, marks a significant advancement for academic research within USNH. Funded by the Long-Range Technology Plan in FY24, Globus facilitates the seamless transfer of vast datasets across institutions, domestically and internationally.
Globus stands out for its ability to handle files of any size and quantity, streamlining the data transfer process. This efficiency is crucial for collaborations between institutions, project sponsors, and remote locations. Globus ensures adherence to ISO metadata standards and incorporates multiple QA/QC performance tracking metrics with each data transfer. Additionally, Globus offers a public file share, a requisite feature for numerous grant projects.
Before the integration of Globus, data transfer was a manual and cumbersome process, often involving physical drives and personal transportation. The introduction of Globus has revolutionized this process, saving valuable time and resources. It has also enhanced data safety, quality assurance, and quality control measures while ensuring compliance with ISO 19115 standards.
