Abstract:
With the pace of research accelerating into the age of Quantum and AI, data mobility has become the life blood of modern scientific research. As unprecedented volumes of research data are being created at increasing speeds, it is imperative data can be easily moved and shared to be findable and accessible. Yet achieving data mobility in scientific research faces significant challenges that span technical, ethical, and institutional domains. If moving data from A to B is difficult, it undermines all existing investments in the latest instruments, supercomputers and virtual research environments.
Looking to the future AARNet is advancing Australia’s national digital infrastructure to manage network speeds of up to 400Gbps and meet the evolving needs of modern, data-driven research fields. This poster will present some of the latest case studies where Globus has been used to facilitate data transfers and automation across unique research domains.
AARNet is Australia's national research and education network. For more than 30 years AARNet has provided reliable telecommunications services, along with an expanding range of cyber security, data and collaboration services.
Globus is a big data transfer service that is a global leader in data movement and distributed user networks. Globus allows users to upload terabytes (or more) through a web-interface, a feat that would be impossible using normal file uploads.
