Hi Arn, I can't speak to RFT specifically, but I can tell you that a key characteristic we are pursuing with the new Globus data movement service is ease-of-use. For example, with the new service the burden for deploying and troubleshooting many problems is shifted away from the user because it is hosted by us. The service also incorporates user interfaces that are familiar to most people, so no special expertise is needed to interact with it.
If you are interested in learning more, you might consider attending my tutorial at Globusworld :-) More information about Globusworld can be found on the website: http://globusworld.org/program/ Best regards, Lisa ----- "Arn" <[email protected]> wrote: > From: "Arn" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected], "Stuart Martin" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2010 10:33:58 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central > Subject: Re: [gt-user] GT 5.0.0 and RFT > > Hi, > > Were there specific reasons for RFT being dropped ?
