This document provides an introduction and overview of Globus, a research data management platform. It discusses how Globus can be used to move, share, discover, and reproduce data across different storage tiers and resources. Globus delivers fast and reliable big data transfer, sharing, and platform services directly from existing storage systems via software-as-a-service using existing identities, with the goal of unifying access to data across different locations and resources. The document demonstrates how Globus can be used via its web interface, command line interface, REST API, and as a platform for building other research applications and workflows.
