AARNet is running Globus technical sessions to help researchers find out more about Globus and to discuss technical problems they are trying to solve or issues they would like to address relating to their Globus service or data movement more generally.

Globus is a fast, reliable and secure managed service for researchers with data movement challenges and is offered to the Australian research community through AARNet. Participation in these sessions is open to everyone in the research community. Both AARNet and Globus product specialists will be available to share knowledge and provide assistance.

These sessions will be back in 2024.

Previous AARNet and Globus Technical Catch-up sessions

AARNet and Globus Technical Catch-up - Self-Managed Subscription Groups

Friday 5 April 2024

In this session we covered the new Self-Managed Subscription Groups feature now available in Globus. The new Globus Subscription Management capability gives subscription managers full control over users and resources affiliated with their subscription. Researchers can more easily discover whether their organisation is a subscriber, see what features are available, and associate their own storage and compute resources with that subscription.
