Research and educational institutions continue to adopt Globus for managing research data. While core Globus capabilities - including reliable file transfer and secure sharing - are the primary focus, there is a growing need to provide robust mechanisms for accessing diverse resources as part of research workflows. Over the past year, Globus released a number of tools that facilitate development of science gateways, data portals, and other custom applications and services to support researchers. In this talk we will review various services and tools comprising the Globus platform-as-a-service, and provide examples on how these capabilities can be integrated into existing and new applications.
