This document discusses the development of data management services to help researchers more easily collect, move, share and analyze big data. It describes the Globus data management platform, which allows researchers to transfer large datasets between locations and share them with collaborators. The author discusses plans to expand Globus capabilities to support additional research workflows, and to develop these services sustainably through a software-as-a-service model. The goal is to automate and outsource common data tasks in a way that provides researchers with a seamless experience for managing their research data.
