Solutions and services for petabyte-scale data tasks

Consultancy

We are at home in large data volumes and provide support and consultancy for the implementation and evolution of large-scale data management and processing solutions. From cloud native technologies to hybrid solutions we design and build stable, secure and cost-effective solutions that keep large data volumes both accessible and safe.
With a combined experience of 30 years in the design and implementation of operational data management and production systems, we design specific solutions for all scales and many domains for deployment in-house, in the cloud or in-between.

Implementation, hosting and operations

We implement services using state-of-the-art, scalable and cloud affine concepts and ensure efficient deployment in the cloud by exploiting elasticity concepts across various cloud providers. We ensure secure and highly available operations through advanced architectures, solid implementation and rigid testing.
We provide hosting for web services including managed database solutions in secure environments with a focus on sustainability and efficiency.
We support service operations from cost estimation to setup and day to day operations support. For reliable operations cost prediction we can employ system modelling and simulation techniques to achieve precise estimation of prices in different environments to support reliable cost optimization solutions.

Data products and services

We produce a selection of earth observation data product types in campaigns and systematically. For sales conditions please check the individual products information. We can also cater for individually tailored or designed product and processing needs.
Our data service IEOTO provides functionality for earth observation data search combined with extensive functionality for finding, storing and inventorizing in-situ and IoT data for efficient remote sensing data calibration as well as in-situ data management tasks.

Projects and Achievements

We are proud to showcase our projects and achievements where we always relied on good communication and collaboration with our partners and customers to achieve technically advanced results that met their needs and expectations.
Oil Spill Analysis System COSIWeb2
Oil Spill Analysis System COSIWeb2 illustration
We support the BSH Oil Forensics group by maintaining the COSIWeb2 (Computerized Oil Spill Identification) software system for oil spill data analysis and sample comparison.
The COSIWeb2 system consists of a backend implemented in Java and a client frontend that is based on the vue3 framework.

We support the German environmental agency in the fulfilling their reporting duties with respect to the NEC Directive (EU National Emissions reduction Commitments Directive) towards the EEA.
For this project we implemented an integrated data management and report generation tool with data verification and visualization elements for efficient data assembly and reporting in the required output formats (Excel).

We were selected by ESA and Starion to introduce the Processing Building Block of EO Exploitation Platform Common Architecture (EOEPCA) into our IEOTO data service that provides unified access to Earth Observation and in-situ data.
As part of the project we enhanced our service with hosted processing capabilities using the EOEPCA supported OGC interfaces and successfully registered with the Network of Resources (NoR).

We support Airbus in the context of the Sentinel-2 Next Generation activity for ESA (European Space Agency) in the definition of Payload Data Ground Segment requirements. Part of the project is to define the high-level communication architecture and data flows with the Ground Segment.
In this project our deep knowledge of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 payload data ground segment architectures and data processing workflows is a key asset.
