Introduction
The GACRC, on behalf of UGA, recently procured an institutional standard subscription to Globus for secure, reliable management of UGA's research data. Globus is a high-performance data-transfer platform that allows you to perform and/or automate:
- Data transfers between servers in your group.
- Data transfers between a server and your laptop.
- Sharing data with researchers at other institutions.
- Sharing data with the world.
Data transfers happen unattended and are faster than SCP/SFTP, data verification is on by default, and automatic restarts or continuation of transfers happen after a disruption.
Getting Started
If you are a first time user of Globus, you will need to create an Identity Account. At a minimum you will need to setup your identity using the University of Georgia organizational login in order to access UGA systems.
- Go to https://globus.org and choose login.
- Search for University of Georgia in the “Look-up your organization box”.
- Choose continue and you will be forwarded to a UGA Single Sign-On (SSO) login page.
Detailed information with screenshots are provided by Globus at their Getting Started page.
