New SLIDER Servers Launch with Massive Archive and Meteosat-12 Imagery
SLIDER has multiple new servers and a giant storage array that have officially launched! The new servers include multiple web servers that load balance to handle higher amounts of traffic, as well as newer, faster processing servers to bring down the latency of getting imagery from the satellites to the web. All of the new servers are hooked up to a massive Ceph Storage Cluster with over 1 petabyte (1,024 terabytes) of storage for SLIDER. This allows the new servers to host a massive 6-month long archive of all the imagery from all the satellites that CIRA processes for SLIDER. In addition, the new servers are also hosting Meteosat-12 imagery, meaning SLIDER now has up to 0.5 km resolution imagery covering the vast majority of the planet. (POC: K.
