First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Information You Need to Know
This section highlights important Connector Appliance information.
Hardware Installation
The sliding rails shipped with the C3200 and C5200 appliances are designed for use with
the 4-post equipment racks only. ArcSight recommends that you do not use the 2-post rack
for the C3200 and C5200 appliances.
Port Change for HTTP Requests
Connector Appliance now redirects HTTP requests for port 80 to port 443 so that you can
access the Connector Appliance login page by typing just the appliance hostname or IP
address into the browser address field.
If you are using port 80 on your SmartConnectors, reconfigure the connectors to use a
different port before you upgrade Connector Appliance.
Upgrading to the Latest SmartConnector Version
To upgrade the connectors you manage on the Connector Appliance to the latest
SmartConnector version, you need to apply the latest build to the container that contains
those connectors. For information about upgrading a container to a specific connector
version, refer to the ArcSight Connector Appliance Administrator’s Guide.
Receiving Events from Microsoft Windows

Remotely Managing Software-Based SmartConnectors
Certain Connector Appliance models can remotely manage previously-installed, software-
based SmartConnectors; however, the remote management feature is disabled on software
SmartConnectors by default. To manage software-based SmartConnectors with the
Connector Appliance, you need to enable remote management on the connectors.
To enable remote management on connectors:
1 Add the following property to the user/agent/agent.properties file in the
installation directory of each SmartConnector that you want to manage with the
Connector Appliance.
remote.management.enabled=true
2 Restart the SmartConnector for the property changes to take effect.
You can also customize the port on which the connector listens. By default, this port is set
to 9001. You can change the port by adding the following property to the
user/agent.properties file (where port_number is the port number you want to
use; for example 9002).
remote.management.listener.port=port_number
Supported SmartConnectors
The list of SmartConnectors available in the Connector Type pull-down includes all
supported SmartConnectors. Some SmartConnectors are not currently supported for use
on the Connector Appliance, but can be managed remotely. For the current list of
SmartConnectors supported for installation on Connector Appliance, including those that
require additional setup, refer to the article Supported Products for Connector Appliance
from the ArcSight Knowledge Base. To access the Knowledge Base, go to the ArcSight
Support Center web page, click the Knowledge Base link, and log in.
Syslog and SNMP SmartConnectors
You can install all syslog and SNMP SmartConnectors on the Connector Appliance.
You can install several SmartConnectors on a single host if supported by the
hardware. ArcSight certifies only four SmartConnectors on Windows hosts
and eight on Linux or Solaris hosts.
To prevent performance degradation, ArcSight strongly recommends that you
do not have more than one syslog connector in a container. For more
information, refer to the article Running more than one syslog connector in one
container from the ArcSight Knowledge Base.
11. Release Notes ArcSight Connector Appliance v6.0 GA
ArcSight Confidential Release Notes ArcSight Connector Appliance v6.0 GA 7
Database Type SmartConnectors
You can run database SmartConnectors that connect to Windows-based databases (such
as Microsoft SQL Audit DB) on Linux or other platforms using JDBC drivers. The ArcSight
Connector Appliance Administrator’s Guide describes how to obtain and install the required
JDBC drivers, and how to use the user-defined JDBC Repository feature to install the
drivers on the local Connector Appliance.
File Type SmartConnectors
Any event sources, including scanners running in automatic mode and Windows-based
sources, can write to files on a Remote File System (also known as NFS and CIFS Storage)
that the Connector Appliance can mount and access.
API Type SmartConnectors
On the Connector Appliance, you cannot use Microsoft and other API-type
SmartConnectors that need to be located on the host they are monitoring.
CheckPoint OPSEC SmartConnectors are supported in sslca mode using the pull cert
command described in the ArcSight Connector Appliance Administrator’s Guide.
The following API-type SmartConnectors work with the Connector Appliance, but with the
limitations listed below.
Database connectors that use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.2 do
not run in FIPS mode. For the database connectors to run in FIPS mode, you
need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1.
Appliance-based, file-type SmartConnectors require NFS or CIFS storage
mounts, as appropriate. Configure an NFS mount (Setup > System Admin >
Storage > NFS) or a CIFS mount (Setup > System Admin > Storage>
CIFS) before configuring the SmartConnector. For more information, see the
ArcSight Connector Appliance Administrator’s Guide.
API SmartConnector Limitation
