Globus
NC State supports Globus, a large-scale data transfer service operated and maintained by the University of Chicago and the Argonne National Laboratory. Globus can move datasets of various sizes, up to petabytes in magnitude, and is well suited for sharing research data between users at various institutes.
Globus allows you to authenticate using your Unity ID and password without needing to create and manage a new account. Likewise, because Globus leverages federated authentication via Incommon, Globus’s infrastructure can be used to share data with users external to NC State without having to create additional accounts.
Globus can be used to establish connectivity among NC State Research Storage, the OIT High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster, NC State Google Drive, OIT NAS storage, local host storage, and any remote Globus endpoint.
