Context
The WEkEO DIAS is a free service, open to all users (if not yet, sign-up!), regardless of their background and knowledge in data science. It offers high-quality training for those who need to incorporate environmental or spatial data into their business, research, or projects and run their own algorithms using the processing capabilities of the WEkEO cloud.
Available plans
WEkEO's offer aims to satisfy all types of users. It comprises three plans:
Essential (free): provides access to all Copernicus and Sentinel data, the WEkEO JupyterHub, Jupyter Notebooks Catalogue, WEkEO Drive and to the User Support.
Standard Virtual Machines (Paid): extends the Essential plan capabilities by procuring additional computing resources on virtual machines in the cloud. This plan opens the doors to virtual processing environments with fast access to WEkEO data, virtual machines with GPU and also enables a direct access to Copernicus Sentinel data. The price of the plan is based on a system "Pay-as-you-use” or fixed term prices.
High Performance Virtual Machines (Paid): breaks compute limitations on individual virtual machines by procuring resources on a High Performance Computing (HPC) platform. This plan gives you access to a total of 98.560 Cores and 120 NVDIA A100 Graphic Cards, a twelve fast 200Gbps Infiniband links for data access with very low latency, high speed access to the EODC storage, including over 10PB of Copernicus data, and direct access to Copernicus Sentinel data.
