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?

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.

Why Business Budgets Fail & How You Can Fix It
1. Avoiding the Business Budgeting
Blunder: Staying Ahead of the
Game
There is no business called risk-free business. Budgeting is an essential part of running a
successful business. It helps you plan and allocate resources, track expenses, and measure
performance. But why do business budgets fail? Many businesses make budgeting
blunders that can hurt their bottom line.
In this blog, we will discuss nine budgeting blunders to avoid and budgeting best practices
that can help you stay on top of your game. But before that, let’s answer some other
questions that hold significance.
Why do Business Budgets Fail?
2. Business budgets can fail due to inaccurate forecasting, inadequate financial planning, and
failure to adjust to unexpected changes in the market.
1. Not budgeting at all
The first budgeting blunder is not budgeting at all. Some businesses operate without a
budget, making it difficult to plan and make informed decisions. A budget helps you
allocate resources, manage cash flow, and prioritize expenses. Without a budget, you risk
overspending, running out of cash, and making poor decisions.
Let’s say a business in Singapore wants to enhance its customer experience by building an
app. The cost of developing an app in Singapore can vary widely depending on its
complexity and features.
Not budgeting for app development can lead to overspending, cash flow problems, and
poor decisions. A well-planned budget can help a business choose a cost-effective option
that meets its needs.
Best practice: Start with a basic budget
If you’re new to budgeting, start with a basic budget that includes your expected revenue
and expenses for the year. Over time, you can refine your budget and include more detail.
2. Ignoring seasonal fluctuations
3. Many businesses experience seasonal fluctuations in revenue and expenses. For example,
a retail store may have higher sales during the holiday season, while a landscaping
business may have higher expenses during the summer. Ignoring these fluctuations can
lead to overestimating revenue or underestimating expenses, which can lead to cash flow
problems.
Best practice: Adjust your budget for seasonal fluctuations
When creating your budget, consider your business’s seasonal fluctuations in revenue and
expenses. Adjust your budget accordingly to ensure you have enough cash flow during
slower periods.
3. Overestimating revenue
Overestimating revenue is a common budgeting blunder and the answer to the question of
why business budgets fail. It can lead to unrealistic expectations and poor
decision-making. It’s important to be realistic when estimating revenue to avoid
overspending and running out of cash.
Best practice: Use historical data to estimate revenue
Use historical data to estimate revenue, and be conservative in your estimates. Consider
market trends, industry benchmarks, business strategy, and economic conditions when
estimating revenue.
4. 4. Underestimating expenses
Underestimating expenses is another budgeting blunder that can lead to cash flow
problems. It’s important to consider all expenses, including fixed costs like rent and
utilities, as well as variable costs like materials and labor.
Best practice: Consider all expenses when creating your budget
Consider all expenses when creating your budget, and be realistic in your estimates. Use
historical data, industry benchmarks, and market trends to help you estimate expenses.
5. Not tracking expenses
Tracking expenses is essential for managing your budget and ensuring you stay on track.
Without tracking expenses, you risk overspending, missing payments, and not having
enough cash flow to cover expenses.
Best practice: Use accounting software to track expenses
Use accounting software to track expenses and automate processes. This will save you
time and help you stay organized. Review your expenses regularly to ensure you’re staying
on track with your budget.
5. 6. Not including unexpected expenses
Why do business budgets fail? Unexpected expenses can arise at any time, and not
including them in your budget can lead to cash flow problems. It’s important to consider
unexpected expenses, such as equipment repairs, in your budget.
Best practice: Include a contingency fund in your budget
Include a contingency fund in your budget to cover unexpected expenses. A good rule of
thumb is to budget 10% of your total expenses for unexpected costs.
7. Not revisiting your budget
Your budget should be a living document that is updated regularly. Failing to revisit your
budget can lead to inaccurate information and poor decision-making.
Best practice: Review and update your budget regularly
Review your budget regularly and update it as needed. Consider changes in revenue and
expenses, and adjust your budget accordingly.
8. Failing to communicate your budget
6. Failing to communicate your budget to your team can lead to misunderstandings and poor
decision-making. Your team needs to understand your budget to make informed decisions
about spending and resource allocation.
Best practice: Communicate your budget to your team
Communicate your budget to your team, including managers and employees. This will help
them understand the business’s financial goals and make informed decisions about
spending and resource allocation. This will also help you understand how to handle
project management in the most effective way.
9. Not prioritizing expenses
Failing to prioritize expenses can lead to overspending and cash flow problems. It’s
important to prioritize expenses based on their impact on your business’s success. There
are several things in a business that can be easily cut short or moved way below the
priority list.
Best practice: Prioritize expenses based on their impact
Prioritize expenses based on their impact on your business’s success. For example, if
increasing sales is a top priority, invest in marketing and sales initiatives.
7. How to create a business budget?
Creating a business budget involves several steps. Here is a basic process for creating a
business budget:
1. Determine Your Business Goals
The first step in creating a budget is to determine your business goals. Consider what you
want to achieve in the coming year and what financial resources you will need to achieve
those goals.
If digital product development is one of the goals of your business. In that case, it is
recommended to consult a team of tech experts that can help you understand the type of
expenses and other operational costs.
2. Estimate Your Expenses
8. Identify and estimate all of your expenses, including fixed expenses like rent, salaries, and
insurance, as well as variable expenses like inventory and marketing.
3. Create a Cash Flow Statement
Create a cash flow statement that shows your projected income and expenses every
month. This will help you identify any cash flow gaps and ensure that you have enough
cash to cover your expenses.
4. Review Your Budget
Review your budget regularly to ensure that you are staying on track. Monitor your actual
income and expenses and make adjustments to your budget as needed.
5. Involve Your Team
Involve your team in the budgeting process. Get input from your managers and employees
to ensure business idea validation that you are accounting for all expenses and resources.
6. Consider Different Scenarios
9. Consider different scenarios when creating your budget. For example, what if sales are
lower than expected or if expenses are higher than anticipated? Be prepared to adjust your
budget accordingly.
Why does business budgeting be Important?
Budgeting is essential for a business as it helps in managing cash flow, forecasting future
expenses, and making informed financial decisions. It ensures stability upcoming business
idea validation process.
There are several reasons why new businesses fail. Let’s study them one by one.
1. Planning and Goal Setting
A budget helps a business plan for the future and set goals. It provides a roadmap for
achieving those goals and helps identify areas where the business can improve.
10. 2. Resource Allocation
A budget helps a business allocate resources effectively. It ensures that the business has
the funds to cover all expenses and invest in areas that are critical for growth.
A budget also assists a mobile app team in allocating resources for hiring additional
developers, investing in app store optimization, and implementing new features critical for
growth.
3. Cash Flow Management
A budget helps a business manage its cash flow effectively. It provides a clear picture of
the business’s income and expenses, ensuring that the business has enough cash to cover
expenses and make investments.
4. Performance Measurement
A budget helps a business measure its performance against its goals. It provides a
benchmark for comparing actual performance to expected performance, allowing the
business to make adjustments as needed.
An app design agency may create a budget that outlines projected revenue and expenses
for the year, allowing them to track actual revenue and expenses and adjust their pricing or
marketing strategies accordingly.
11. 5. Decision Making
A budget helps a business make informed decisions. It provides a basis for evaluating
different options and helps the business choose the best course of action.
Conclusion
Budgeting is essential for running a successful business, but it’s important to avoid these
nine budgeting blunders. By following these budgeting best practices, you can create a
budget that helps you allocate resources, manage cash flow, and make informed decisions
about your business’s future. Remember to track expenses, adjust for seasonal
fluctuations, communicate your budget to your team, and prioritize expenses based on
their impact on your business’s success.
