Exos
A next-generation, S3-compatible data access layer for very large Earth Observation Data repositories. Turn distributed multi-cluster storage into one unified, scalable, and resilient Earth Observation Data access layer.
- S3-compatible
- Multisite architecture
- EU sovereign
Product Features
Distributed storage. One unified repository.
Exos manages the complexity of multi-cluster EO storage behind a single, familiar S3-compatible interface — enabling organizations to scale, distribute, and operate massive EO data repository without disrupting existing users or workflows.
One unified access layer across distributed storage
Exos presents multiple independent storage clusters as a single logical EO data repository. Users and applications access data through one consistent S3-compatible endpoint — regardless of which physical site stores the product.
High availability with Hot Data Layer
A configurable hot data layer keeps the most recently accessed EO products available at low latency close to compute resources. Automatic retention ensures that storage is managed efficiently without manual intervention.
Horizontal scalability for growing repositories
Add new independent storage clusters as data volumes grow — without redesigning the architecture. Exos is built to scale toward exabyte-scale EO data repositories for national and European programs.
Resilience through distributed multi-cluster design
Instead of one large monolithic storage cluster with a wide failure domain, Exos operates multiple smaller clusters. Failures, maintenance, and upgrades affect a limited scope — improving overall service continuity.
Flexible deployment — Lite and Premium tiers
Exos offers two deployment tiers: a cost-efficient option for smaller deployments without multi-cluster requirements, and a full multi-cluster metadata management tier for large-scale EO programs.
Scale your EO repository without redesigning the architecture
Exos is built for organizations operating at the frontier of Earth Observation — where repository scale, operational resilience, and long-term growth cannot be compromised.
Greater reliability for automated operations
Consistent metadata helps prevent workflow failures, reduces manual fixes, and ensures APIs behave predictably across distributed storage environments.
Improved resilience through distributed multi-cluster design.
Independent storage clusters allow continuous repository growth without architectural redesign. Distributed multi-cluster design reduces operational risk and limits the impact of outages or failures.
Faster and more consistent listing.
Exos uses a high-performance database as the single source of truth for product listing — delivering faster and more consistent results.
European sovereignty for EO data infrastructure
Designed and operated as part of CloudFerro sovereign European cloud infrastructure — meeting the requirements of public institutions, space agencies, and defense organizations that depend on EU data residency and operational independence.
Typical Use Cases
Built for the scale of modern EO programmes
INTEGRATIONS
Native integration with CloudFerro EO infrastructure
Exos connects seamlessly with CloudFerro multisite storage clusters, the EO ingestion toolchain, and external data delivery services — forming the access backbone of the entire CloudFerro EO data ecosystem.
