In the near future, researchers can use Globus third-party hosted collections (cloud connectors), providing a uniform interface for accessing, moving, and sharing data across cloud storage services such as Box, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Microsoft Azure.
Why it matters: Globus Premium Storage Connectors enable secure, efficient, and scalable data transfers, sharing, and managing cloud-stored data. This makes it easier for researchers and institutions to handle large-scale datasets in collaborative and high-performance computing environments.
