Globus Accelerates Scientific Research with the Power of Data, Compute and AI
ST. LOUIS, Missouri—Nov 11, 2025—Globus, the de facto standard platform for secure, reliable research data management and computation, has introduced new product capabilities that enable researchers to further automate data pipelines and accelerate scientific discovery.
Researchers can now automate management of protected data using the Globus High Assurance and BAA subscription tiers. Automated flows can be initiated using timers, to support recurring and scheduled tasks. System administrators can also require that all data movement to and from a collection occur via a flow, enabling optional data reorganization and processing before transfer. And the flows service also adds support for authoring input schemas via a visual development environment, including dynamic rendering of the form for capturing flow inputs.
New and enhanced Globus Compute capabilities simplify access to diverse remote computing resources and development of AI-centric services. Globus Compute multi-user enables interactive use of advanced computing without concern for technical complexity, and access to specialized hardware for training AI/ML models. The service is increasingly used in domain or AI-specific use cases such as facilitating inference via Garden, a service for publishing and using ML models with domain-specific data.
Globus also continues to grow its storage ecosystem, adding support for Amazon S3 Glacier, Dell ObjectStore, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage to its list of validated storage solutions. The expanding list of Globus connectors allows researchers to store and access all their data using a unified interface.
Among many other features released in recent months are important capabilities that help system administrators manage their Globus deployments. External user access can be automatically removed for unused data collections, making it easier to enforce sharing policies; new consoles for Globus Compute and Globus Search provide additional visibility into usage of institutional resources; and data collections can be configured by administrators to ensure that users are accessing verified institutional resources.
“Globus has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. It’s hard to believe that the service has grown to over 600,000 users and is moving petabytes of data daily. And I’m especially thrilled that a Globus GridFTP paper written back in 2005 received this year’s Test of Time award,” says Ian Foster, University of Chicago distinguished professor and Globus co-founder. “It makes this year’s Supercomputing conference truly special.”
Stop by the Globus booth #4324 at SC25 to learn more about Globus Automation, Compute and AI-centric services such as Garden and APPFL/APPFLx, and join the Globus GridFTP Test of Time award presentation on Tuesday, November 18th at 3:30 p.m.
