Case Study Overview
• Data: Raw satellite image is retrieved from SAN and broken up into tiles
• Process: Tiles are processed using proprietary GeoEye algorithms for sharpening, geocorrection, etc.
• Result: Tiles are reassembled and stored back in SAN
Challenges:
• Multi-core / SMP development complexity• Risk, cost and agility of traditional platforms• Meeting customer SLAs
Results:
• Imaging applications now able to process in excess of 5 TB of satellite imagery per day
• Developers able to focus on core competencies• Capital savings greater than $1.2 million• Easily meet customer requirements for
maximum processing time
Appistry EAF at GeoEye
Data Process ResultThe leading provider of satellite imagery for government and commercial applications, GeoEye is building its next-generation image processing applications on Appistry EAF.
“ By relying on the application fabric to provide scalability, reliability and manageability, we can leave our infrastructure concerns behind and focus on providing maximum value to our customers. ” – Ray Helmering,VP Photogrammetric Engineering at GeoEye
