Geospatial Data Hosting

 Our data hosting and serving solutions are supplied as follows:

• Access to Astrium Services data (such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, Lidar, etc.) served using WMS and streamed directly into the client application. For example, the client can open an ESRI application and call the aerial photography background into their PC. On top they can portray mapping or any other geo-information and proceed to undertake analysis.
• Access to 3rd party data such as national mapping, geology etc. served through WMS or WFS streamed directly into a client application. The client can take all of their main geospatial layers as a managed service thus cutting out the need to hold the data locally reducing staff, system and internal bandwidth costs.
• Access to a client's own data, stored at the Astrium Services secure hosting facility and then served back into the organisation. Often the client's own geospatial team is unable to support their user community with the range of services required. A simple outsourcing model guarantees the access to the data layers on a per requirements basis, irrespective of where the data is needed in an organisation.

A range of services are available to facilitate access to geospatial information on an "as required" basis, predominantly across the web. The datasets are accessed within a GIS at the client's site, via a thick client provided by Astrium or using a thin client accessed with the data.

All of the services are based on the secure storage of any form of geospatial data. Information is accessed by clients based on their permissions and licensing.
