- Multi-Gbps throughput
- Standard S3 protocol
- EU sovereign
Product Features
EO data at scale — exactly where you need it.
Built for the operational demands of modern EO workflows. High throughput, standard S3 access, fine-grained retrieval, and support for automated pipelines — all from your own infrastructure, without touching CREODIAS compute.
High-performance EO data transfer
Optimized high-throughput architecture built for moving massive satellite datasets. Multiple 10GE links deliver tested performance around ~4 Gbps — designed for bulk EO transfer, not generic object storage.
Standard S3 protocol support
Access the CREODIAS EO archive via standard S3-compatible APIs. Works with existing tools — boto3, s3cmd, rclone, s3fs, goofys — without custom clients or proprietary SDKs.
Fine-grained data access
Retrieve entire EO products, specific scenes, metadata, or file segments (e.g. tile extraction from Sentinel-2). Move only what you need — reducing unnecessary data transfer and cost.
Large-scale dataset support
Access Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS, VIIRS, AI embeddings, and geoAI datasets from the CREODIAS EO archive. Designed for the volume and operational demands of petabyte-scale satellite data repositories.
Works from external IT infrastructure
Transfer data directly to your own on-prem servers, private cloud, or third-party cloud environment. No need to spin up CREODIAS cloud compute resources to access the EO archive.
Automated and repeatable transfers
Supports both one-time and recurring transfer workflows. Automate synchronization, near-real-time ingestion of new satellite data, and large-scale EO data distribution for operational pipelines.
Move large EO datasets quickly and without bottlenecks
Designed for organizations that process EO data at scale. EO Data Transfer removes the bottlenecks of manual downloads, public repository throttling, and fragmented transfer tooling — delivering EO data directly where it is needed.
European sovereignty
All data remains hosted and transferred within a trusted European cloud environment. Aligned with Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem strategy, EU data governance requirements, and institutional compliance needs.
Reduced time-to-insight
Faster access and seamless integration into existing workflows means less waiting for large downloads, quicker processing, and faster project turnaround — from initial data request to analytical result.
Cost efficiency and predictability
Pay only for what you transfer at €37/TB, billed monthly. Transparent per-TB pricing maps cleanly to project budgets — without complex combinations of egress fees, request charges, or throttling surprises.
Typical Use Cases
Move EO data where it matters
Direct pipeline integration
Integrate Sentinel-2, Copernicus, Landsat, MODIS, VIIRS, and AI embedding datasets directly into custom processing pipelines running on your own infrastructure — without portal downloads or intermediate staging.
On-prem and hybrid cloud analytics
Feed on-premise HPC clusters, private cloud environments, or third-party cloud analytics platforms directly from the CREODIAS EO archive via S3, without routing through CREODIAS compute resources.
Selective scenes and tile extraction
Extract specific scenes, metadata, or spatial subsets (e.g. tiles) from large EO files for targeted ML pipelines, change detection, land cover analysis, or environmental monitoring workflows.
Near-real-time operational ingestion
Automate ingestion of newly available satellite data for production systems where latency and throughput matter — frequent updates, near-real-time processing, and automated pipeline triggering.
Avoiding public download bottlenecks
Bypass the queues, throttling, and instability of public EO download portals. Designed for organizations with high bandwidth requirements or time-sensitive data access needs.
