Globus MEDICUS

Today we routinely expect information to be available on the Internet, but this is still not the case with medical information. We believe that making it available, in a secure fashion, is crucial: it has the potential to deliver better, more informed care at reduced cost. We believe that our Globus MEDICUS project takes important first steps toward this goal. Our system lets doctors and patients utilize the power of high-speed Internet to easily and securely share information. Much remains to be done, but we are gratified by the benefits that are already apparent. [Read more...]

UltraLight

Our development and deployment of next generation of network-aware will be a key enabler of physics discoveries at the LHC. The ability to move Terabyte-scale datasets rapidly among the grid sites, and to monitor and optimize grid operations by co-scheduling the use of networks, computing and storage, will greatly increase the working efficiency of physicists throughout the world in their search for new physics. UltraLight's use of advanced network protocols, a new class of circuit-oriented network services to support the largest data flows, and new applications such as Caltech's Fast Data Transport, is making this possible. The vast increase in the worldwide research community's ability to use long range networks effectively will immediately benefit many other fields of data intensive science, and in the longer run, will have a major positive impact on research and education in general.
