4.8.1.1 Collaborative Data-Access Mirroring Centres<br />

This opportunity aims at contributing to enhancing the global <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 data-access<br />

availability, reliability and performance by locally mirroring the data from third-party operated<br />

premises in counterpart of a privileged access to <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 data products.<br />

This collaborative opportunity is motivated by the demonstrated successes of digital media<br />

sharing opportunities offered throughout the internet, further complemented by the trends<br />

advertised by internet carriers in optimising the effective bandwidth by replication and<br />

localisation of the data close to its consumers.<br />

From the <strong>PDGS</strong> system point of view, collaborative data-mirroring centres will be seen as an<br />

extension of the <strong>PDGS</strong> operationally supplied with <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 products and contributing to the<br />

harmonised on-line publishing of the data they hold locally by implementing the <strong>PDGS</strong> dataaccess<br />

protocols.<br />

From the collaborative centre point of view, the core <strong>PDGS</strong> will act as primary data supplier<br />

granting privileged access to large quantities of <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 data products reusing the <strong>PDGS</strong><br />

standard cross-archives data-circulation mechanisms (cf. section 4.5.4.9). In addition, the<br />

core <strong>PDGS</strong> will provide operational data-management software to be hosted and operated<br />

locally for receiving, housekeeping and relaying the data internally to legacy systems as well<br />

as externally to <strong>GSC</strong> users.<br />

A dedicated <strong>PDGS</strong> service will be defined and operated to enable this type of collaboration<br />

(cf. section 4.10.2.1).<br />

4.8.1.2 Hosted Processing Collaboration Opportunity<br />

The <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 <strong>PDGS</strong> will provide a dedicated service to data users enabling their data<br />

processors to be hosted and run in the <strong>PDGS</strong> processing environment. This collaborative<br />

opportunity fosters the development of additional products to complement the base product<br />

list provided through the core <strong>PDGS</strong> services. It is motivated to a large extent by the recent<br />

experience at <strong>ESA</strong> in this domain (cf. section 4.3.5.4) and as such aims for a significant reuse<br />

of the established concepts applicable to the G-POD CAT-1 opportunity (cf. [RD-36] and [RD-<br />

37]).<br />

The goal of this service is to foster the use of <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 data and the development of new<br />

derived operational products by enabling the remote access and processing of <strong>PDGS</strong> core<br />

products according to user-provided algorithm implementations.<br />

This service ultimately aims at enhancing the <strong>PDGS</strong> offerings vis-à-vis the GSPs indirectly or<br />

directly:<br />

○ Indirectly through collaborations with scientific research partners whereby new and<br />

complementary <strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 value-added products (e.g. Level-2) can be test-bedded,<br />

validated on large datasets, and finally swiftly transferred to sustainable operations for<br />

global usage.<br />

This collaborative approach avoiding bulk product transportation commonly required<br />

for algorithm development aims at solving data-access bottlenecks while making new<br />

processors ready for swift operational deployment when required;<br />
