Abstract
Geospatial Data Management in the Cloud


Airbus Defence and Space’s Cloud Services represent an innovative approach to meeting the growing Big Data requirements of the global geospatial community. Geospatial data storage, access, management, distribution even rapid acquisition of satellite images through virtual tasking can be managed easily and cost-effectively. By transitioning all of these activities to the Cloud, Airbus DS eliminates many of the barriers that have unnecessarily precluded organizations from making full and effective use of their geospatial assets. Gone, for example, are the traditional concerns over the technology, budget, and personnel requirements associated with on-site management of these resources -- concerns that slowed down companies desire to scale up their geospatial business. This is especially important at a time when the improved imaging capacities of multi-satellite constellations such as Airbus DS’ Pléiades and SPOT systems are capable of generating terabytes "even petabytes" of multi-resolution, multispectral imagery. So rather than organizations being forced to assign scarce resources to store, manage, and access these files, Airbus DS takes care of it for them, enabling these organizations to get back to doing what they do best but with the world's best commercial geospatial data instantly accessible.
