Among the three types of plans that WEkEO offers, stands the Standard Virtual Machines plan which is one of the most advanced one and comes with a lot of powerful features.

Advantages of the Standard Virtual Machines plan
Here are the main assets of the Standard Virtual Machines plan:
Possibility to create and manage your personal tenant in a fully scalable way. For example, you could change from a tenant with 2 VMs to 6000 VMs within “a day” and still beneficiate of all the WEkEO datasets for each VM
You have your processors directly where the data belong. It is an important asset for large dataset processing, or AI algorithms that require most of the time large input/output bandwith
Direct access to data via a file system without HDA API (you could choose also to still use the Harmonized Data Access (HDA) if your program is already using it)
Number of requests is no longer limited
Faster access to the data: as soon as the new data have been produced, they are available on WEKEO. You could immediately consume/launch processing on this “fresh” data, no need to wait for the “downloading delay”
Faster processing: for example the loading of a Sentinel-2 imagery (800MB) takes around 8 sec on WEKEO, while the download and then the loading in your own configuration could take much more time. It has to be compared to your own configuration (we can't tell how much faster, since it depends on many factors, but the gap is significant)
No cost for traffic in and out below the limit of 100 TB per month
WEkEO tenant could be in fix mode or pay per use mode or a mix of them for a full scalability capacity and an optimised pricing approach. A mix with GPU is also possible
In a nutshell, you have a faster, easier and unlimited access to WEkEO data! 🙌
