To help facilitate large data transfers (gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes) between external collaborators, Duquesne provides a Globus Data Transfer Node. Globus is a file transfer service that is efficient and easy to use. It has several advantages:
- Robust and fast transfers of large files and/or large collections of files.
- Files can be transferred between your computer and underlying storage for Globus.
- Files can be transferred between Duquesne and other sites.
- A web and command-line interface for starting and monitoring transfers.
- Access to specific files or directories granted to external collaborators in a secure way.
If you are interested in using Globus to exchange large data sets with collaborators, request a consultation to get started.
