Engagement Overview Mayo Clinic has selected Globus as a strategic Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform to address critical gaps in secure, large-scale research data movement. The Globus platform is currently being installed in the GCP Cloud Data DMZ and is nearing completion of initial implementation. The Enterprise Interfaces team within the Enterprise Data organization has been designated as the operational home for Globus, alongside existing MFT solutions (Signiant and Cleo). The contractor will embed within the Enterprise Interfaces team and serve as the primary technical resource for completing Globus operationalization, onboarding initial research customers, establishing operational support processes, and building the team's institutional knowledge of the Globus ecosystem. This engagement is designed to bridge an immediate capacity gap while the organization plans for long-term staffing through Phase 2 positions. 2. Project Context This engagement directly supports enterprise priorities including: Research Enablement – Enabling secure, compliant, high-throughput transfer of large research datasets (terabyte- to petabyte-scale) for Principal Investigator onboarding/offboarding, grant collaborations, and secure data downloads from approved external sites. MFT Consolidation – Integrating Globus into the existing MFT portfolio alongside Signiant and Cleo, with a long-term vision toward consolidated MFT operations with an AI-operations-centric approach. Security & Compliance – Ensuring alignment with Mayo Clinic ISA, BAA, TPRM, and NIST security framework requirements. Key Architectural Elements: Globus SaaS control plane with user authentication via Entra ID (restricted to allowed identity providers: mayo.edu, globus.org, approved external institutions) Two internally hosted Compute Engine VMs running Globus Connect Server (GCS) v5 in the GCP Data DMZ GCP ingress and egress S3 storage buckets with a defined 30-day data lifecycle/retention rule GridFTP parallel transfer protocol across HTTPS 443 and TCP ports 50000–51000 for high-performance data movement Globus Storage Gateways (Google S3 connectors) linking collections to GCP bucket storage Data movement performed by Globus-managed service accounts — no direct user access to underlying buckets User provisioning managed via Sailpoint Flat-fee licensing model for unlimited data transfer and unlimited endpoints (cloud and on-premises) 3. Scope of Work / Key Responsibilities The contractor will be responsible for, but not limited to, the following: Platform Configuration & Deployment Completion Complete final configuration and hardening of the Globus Connect Server (GCS v5) deployment on GCP Compute Engine VMs within the Data DMZ Configure and validate Globus Storage Gateways and S3 Storage Connectors for ingress and egress GCP buckets Configure Globus collections (Managed and Guest) aligned with Mayo's data access policies and identity provider restrictions Validate end-to-end data transfer workflows including ingress, egress, and staging collection transfers across the Service Connector (SC) boundary into the MCC VPC Configure DNS, authentication flows (OAuth/OpenID Connect via Entra ID), and endpoint registration within Globus.org User Onboarding & Research Customer Support Onboard initial research user groups to the Globus platform, providing hands-on support for first transfers Develop and document standardized user onboarding procedures, including Sailpoint provisioning workflows and Globus Web App access Provide Tier 1/2 operational support for Globus users — troubleshooting transfer failures, stalled transfers, permission issues, connectivity problems, and performance optimization Coordinate with Globus vendor support (University of Chicago) for escalated issues using the established Globus support process Infrastructure Maintenance & Operations Monitor and maintain Globus Connect Server VM health, GCS services, and GCP bucket lifecycle policies Manage Globus endpoint configurations including storage gateways, identity provider settings, path restrictions, and access policies Perform ongoing performance tuning — optimizing GridFTP concurrency, parallelism, data channel configurations, and transfer parameters for high-throughput workloads Monitor transfer activity, usage patterns, and audit logs for operational and compliance reporting Manage GCS software updates, patches, and version upgrades Support disaster recovery planning and testing for the Globus platform Security & Compliance Implement and enforce security controls aligned with Mayo Clinic ISA, BAA, and NIST frameworks Manage identity provider configurations and access controls (RBAC) within the Globus platform Ensure data governance policies are enforced — including collection-level permissions, path restrictions, and transfer audit logging Support TPRM and Risk/OIS requirements as they relate to Globus operations Knowledge Transfer & Documentation Produce comprehensive technical documentation: runbooks, SOPs, architecture diagrams, troubleshooting guides, and operational playbooks Participate in the Globus Orientation Session led by Pete Eby from the Architecture team and help translate session content into operational procedures Transfer knowledge to Mayo Clinic Enterprise Interfaces staff to enable long-term self-sufficiency Document lessons learned from initial user onboarding and operational support activities Collaboration & Governance Navigate Mayo Clinic governance, change management, and approval processes for platform changes Collaborate with the Architecture team, Storage/Infrastructure team, and Research stakeholders Coordinate with ADO repo owners for configuration and state management Provide input into long-term MFT operations planning and AI-operations integration 4.
