DIAS Context and Objectives

Bringing together data & user processing

One year of Sentinels operations represents several PBs of new data(rate ~ 10 PB/year in 2018)

- User products: More than 1 Million of new records generated every three months

- 2014 / 2015 : archive exploitation ratio of 10

- Currently more than 50,000 registered unique users (different emails)

*Note: Archive exploitation ratio is defined as the Number of downloads / Number of products in the archive

Sizing figures for the Copernicus Services data and information and the Sentinels products are provided in the IGS Functional Requirements Document

included as reference document as part of the ITT documentation

End user accessing the support services to browse through the different DIAS

offers

| Slide 16ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use

Conclusion

The Third-party autonomously operates its own front-office services and user

community

3 – OPERATE

The Third-party takes direct contact with the DIAS Provider to get access to the needed resources

according to the DIAS Commercial Services Offer (incl. processing, storage and network capacity as

well as data collections access).

1 – AGREE & GET ACCESS TO THE REQUIRED RESOURCES

2 – CONFIGURE

The Third-party autonomously configures its own front-office environment (e.g. install own

application, select needed data collections). In doing this, it is able to browse through all (virtually)

available DIAS collections through DIAS interfaces. It has also the possibility to reuse any DIAS

available tool. It is able to contact the DIAS Help Desk in case support is needed.
