The University of Chicago offers Globus, a platform with robust data and compute management capabilities, to all researchers, staff and students. Globus is a data management platform which enables researchers, research computing managers, IT groups, and developers to access and manage their data and compute resources. The Globus platform is used by thousands of researchers, and provides secure and reliable file transfer, sharing, publication, remote computation, and automation throughout the research lifecycle.
Globus is available for use by all faculty, staff and students at UChicago. Log into Globus with your CNET id, and start using it with systems on campus or other institutions, or with your own laptop.
Globus Hands-On Workshop with the RCC
Simplifying Data Transfer, Sharing & Automation
May 13 1:00-4:30 pm
Location: UChicago Crear Library
In this hands-on workshop, we will demonstrate how to use Globus to streamline the transfer of datasets from local machines or scientific instruments (e.g. microscopes, telescopes, etc.) to RCC Midway storage systems.
- Learn how to automate transfers
- Build user-friendly data portals
- Easily and securely share research data
- See a demo of an automated instrument to Midway workflow
- Learn how to create your own data pipeline

From kilobytes to petabytes, with Globus you can efficiently, reliably, and securely move data between systems within your site or across an ocean.
All you need is an email address to share data with colleagues – Globus manages authentication and access.
The Globus Search service enables storage of metadata with fine grained access control on creation, modification, and visibility, and metadata retrieval through search queries.
Need to manage HIPAA-regulated data? Working with PII or CUI? No problem. Globus supports management of Protected Health Information (PHI), data regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Globus flows define actions that are executed in a specified order using “action providers” to act on resources both on the Globus platform and externally managed services. Use cases abound where automation is required to cope with growing data volumes and velocities like those generated by cryo-electron microscopes, next generation sequencers, and advanced light sources.
The Globus platform enables developers to provide robust file transfer, sharing, search, and automation capabilities within their own research data applications and services, while leveraging advanced identity management, single sign-on, and authorization capabilities.
