ACCS Information Session: Connecting to and using Globus for data transfer

An informational webinar for research facility staff, IT professionals and researchers dealing with big-data transfers.

The Australian Characterisation Commons at Scale (ACCS) Project invites you to a webinar exploring how to use Globus to transfer large and complex imaging datasets from one location to another — for example, to transfer data from your point of acquisition to an analysis platform like the Characterisation Virtual Laboratory (www.cvl.org.au).

Topics covered:

• What is Globus?
• Types of endpoints – standard, high assurance, sensitive data (HIPAA)
  • how to determine which type of endpoint is needed for your data type
• licensing fees + contracts
• Globus Personal Connect installation
  • setting up your own endpoint
• How to find an endpoint at processing facility
  • quick demo of how to find your endpoints

Speakers: Jay van Schyndel (Monash Research Centre, Monash University) and Chris Myers (AARNet)

This is an information session that will be hosted online. There will be a short presentation and brief demonstration of step-by-step procedures to help you get started with using Globus to transfer large datasets. There will be time afterwards for questions.
