GHRC DAAC managers and engineers are participating in information gathering and analysis in support of ESDIS Cloud activities. On May 25th they attended a telecon with ESDIS and Forrester Research. Forrester will provide recommendations on ESDIS’ approach to adopt the use of public cloud by evaluating the overarching strategy and helping to validate the expected costs and benefits for moving a DAAC to the public cloud. GHRC provided information on our data archive, processes and infrastructure, and continues to answer follow-up questions. GHRC is also participating in Phase 3 of the Cumulus project, providing a comprehensive list of data products with details on ingest, archive and distribution processes for the “Cumulus Transition Decision-Making Framework” document.
