A new proposed cloud computing based architecture for space ground data systems
International audience; Many companies decided to move towards the cloud computing technology in order to manage, monitor and explore huge space data amount in the space ground data systems. The corresponding transition adaptation needs a study to classify each space related service in the appropriate cloud computing service model layer; SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. In this paper, we specify a representation of proposed cloud computing based ground data system architecture for earth observation missions. The proposed architecture takes into consideration the collaboration aspect between multiple space agencies. We evaluate the time, storage and processing performance when using the cloud computing …
A new inter-cloud service-level guarantee protocol applied to space missions
Nowadays, the term cloud computing often falsely assumes the availability of an unlimited pool of resources. On the contrary, if a cloud provider reaches its limits, it may pose the risk of breaking their service level agreement (SLA). Space agencies could start using the cloud computing model within their IT infrastructure with multiple ground control points around the world to reduce the cost. An inter-cloud communication protocol with a guarantee of the service level will significantly reduce the cost if each ground control segment is considered as a cloud provider. This paper outlines a new protocol that was developed to take into consideration the end-to-end service-level guarantee. Th…
