What users are saying...

One of the most frustrating aspects of the HPC world is resolving software dependencies and trying to get something to work in a new environment. This is never an issue with Globus Online because of its existence on the cloud and how easy it is to set up a new endpoint even for someone new to HPC.

The Globus Online system and transfers work very well. It allows high-speed transfers to be conducted fully automatically, without the need to constantly monitor progress. Practically the only thing I have to worry about is refreshing my credentials from time to time.

Globus Online has made my life much easier. I’ve had to generate, plot, and analyze over 100 TB of model data. Moving such large amounts of data from one HPC to another is time-consuming, prone to glitches, and often impossible with other file transfer methods. Globus Online is incredibly easy to use and cuts way down on the amount of time I spend setting up file transfers. It’s become absolutely necessary in the work that I do.
