National Data Transfer Platform
The National Data Transfer Platform uses Globus, a third-party service for transferring large amounts of data between Globus Data Transfer Nodes (DTNs). New Zealand DTNs facilitate the transfer of data to and from institutional storage. This service allows data to be accessible to any person who has a Globus account.
