The value of Earth Observation data is increased by accessibility. For huge datasets, as those accumulated over years or from the new era of Sentinel satellites, new data access and exploitation mechanisms need to be devised. We propose to place huge series of data products on online disks in parallel and distributed file systems and provide novel access mechanisms based on existing standards. The system shall additionally enable retrieval of historical data from the archive. The services also provide all interfaces from “Discovery” over “Visualization” to “Download” for users with novel clients.
