BIRN – Biomedical Informatics Research Network

The Globus clients software provides MyProxy, GSI security, GridFTP, UberFTP, and RLS client software that enables users and applications to interact with BIRN operated MyProxy, GridFTP, and RLS servers.

FIRE (coming in 2010) is an integrated suite of tools to put your data on a gridFTP set of servers, link it to a database which is automatically federated, to be able to retrieve it from multiple sites, with the data wrapped in XCEDE (XML) wrappers.

Grid Account Management Architecture, GAMA, provides an end-to-end security infrastructure suitable for multi-institution collaborations with support for grid computing, cloud computing, and web portals.

MyProxy is an online credential repository. You can store X.509 proxy credentials in the MyProxy repository, protected by a passphrase, for later retrieval over the network.

GridFTP is a high-performance, secure, reliable data transfer protocol optimized for high-bandwidth wide-area networks.
