Using Globus to Streamline Research at Scale
The document discusses the capabilities of Globus for automating and streamlining data transfers in research environments. It covers features such as the Globus timer service for scheduled and recurring file transfers, a command line interface for ad hoc scripting, and the Globus flows service for comprehensive task orchestration. Perspectives from researchers, administrators, and builders are provided to highlight ease of use, scalability, and automation management.
