The transition to providing massive earth data archives as cloud-optimized data raises multiple questions, challenges and exciting opportunities. This session compares the experiences of companies and organizations that are actively managing massive earthdata archives. We will explore the current state of cloud optimized archives from data acquisition through to distribution.
We're excited to partner with thought and industry leaders in the satellite and development communities, and through their sponsorship and support of SatSummit, we are solving real-world and global development challenges.
