The new data lake will be capable of hosting 100 petabytes of
spatial data. The single storage space for data collection and
archives will be simple, secure and fast for users to access. CNES
is also looking to capitalize on it to develop new services
incorporating visualization, data cross-referencing, and
information sharing.
A single point of contact for CNES, Orange Business Services
will oversee the global governance of the entire project from
design and installation to maintenance and ongoing operations. As a
network-native digital services company and founding member of
Gaia-X, Orange Business Services is well placed to leverage its
expertise in data security and digital integration services, all
while ensuring confidentiality of this data in compliance with
regulatory requirements. Orange is also providing its expertise in
the space sector, notably with the Payload Data Ground Segment
(PDGS) Sentinel-1 and 2 of the European Copernicus program.
“Spatial data is historically an issue for scientific research.
They are becoming a strategic issue in the "new" data economy:
satellites contribute at all levels to the creation of value, quite
clearly in geolocation or in imagery, but now also to monitor
climate change: sea level, ozone layer, CO2, etc. Increasingly
voluminous, specific and complex, these data need to be captured,
stored, processed and analyzed. As part of our data policy and with
the support of Orange Business Services teams, we are developing a
future-proof infrastructure to ensure access to this data, to
facilitate science and also to support the emergence of new
services, products, players, and a new industry,” stated Thierry
Levoir, Director of Digital and Operations Departments, CNES.
“We are delighted to support CNES in this ambitious project to
overhaul its storage infrastructure. We combine our know-how in
integrating complex solutions with the complementary expertise of
our partners in order to contribute to the digital transformation
of CNES. We are thus participating in the strategy for enhancing
the value of spatial data and promoting the influence of French
space policy,” said Etienne Bonhomme, France Director of Cloud
activities at Orange Business Services.
