Globus Community

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…” NSF is vital because we support basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future. This type of support is a primary driver of the U.S. economy, enhances the nation’s security and advances knowledge to sustain global leadership.

Enabling diverse research ecosystems for the NSF and beyond:

A few examples:

• National Solar Observatory (NSO): NSO DKIST project uses Globus for reliably moving data from telescope to Boulder, where it is processed and then distributed to authorized users using Globus sharing capabilities.
• National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR): Several systems at NCAR, including their HPC, offer Globus for their users to manage their data, and for projects to leverage Globus platform for data management. For example, NCAR RDA uses Globus for delivering data to their users via their portal.
• Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI): uses Globus for moving data in and out of their DesignSafe data depot
• Dark Energy Survey Collaboration (DESC): uses Globus to distribute data
• IceCube Neutrino Observatory: Globus is used to archive data for long term preservation
• Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS): CHESS users are able to retrieve their data using Globus
