GridFTP: A Brief History of Fast File Transfer
- How GridFTP became the de facto standard for data transfer in the scientific community Globus is widely used in the research ecosystem for reliable, secure, and high-performance data transfer.
- The service has two key aspects: an orchestration layer that manages these transfers, and GridFTP, a highly performant protocol that moves the bits on the wire between source and destination storage systems.
- The GridFTP protocol, developed over 25 years ago now, was designed and built to manage ever increasing scientific data volumes across highly distributed, yet connected sets of systems.
