Hi Joe,

We have not tried aspera (if I recall correctly, they're not open source?). 

At the University of Chicago, though, there has been some work on enabling Galaxy on the cloud to work with GridFTP and GlobusOnline, which is somewhat related. There is a talk and PPT about that available at http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/GCC2011 (look for "Galaxy, GridFTP, Condor, and Globus Online").

Let us know how it goes if you decide to take this on,

Enis

Hi,

anyone tried to install an aspera server for a galaxy cloud instance? The goal would be to feed some local data faster to the instance.


best,
joe
