Save on cloud costs with Spots
Users can now save on cloud resources costs as they gain access to CloudFerro cloud instances at significantly reduced prices compared to standard VMs.
Public cloud with Earth observation data
Public cloud with easy access to Earth observation data exploration and processing for public administration, science and business.
CREODIAS is a seamless cloud-based environment that brings processing to Earth Observation (EO) data. It enables to create and scale EO-based services. The platform has an integrated repository of satellite images, equipped with a range of applications allowing users to search, view, and process satellite products. The architecture of the cloud environment ensures simplicity, scalability, and repeatability of production processes and chains.
The main assumption of the CREODIAS platform is to reduce the technological and financial requirements faced by all entities interested in using satellite data in their products and services - public administration, science, and business. The environment combines free Copernicus satellite data complemented by very high resolution (VHR) imagery, competitively priced cloud computing infrastructure, and convenient user tools, allowing users to incorporate remote sensing data or its derivatives into production chains at a fraction of the previous cost.
CREODIAS 2.0 is a revised version of CREODIAS – a highly successful platform that dates back to 2018. It was one of the five DIAS platforms (Data and Information Access Services) that were funded by the European Commission to facilitate and standardise access to Copernicus Earth observation data, as well as to processing tools. It was provided by a consortium of: CloudFerro, Creotech Instruments S.A., Wroclaw Institute of Spatial Information and Artificial Intelligence (WIZIPISI), Geomatys, Eversis, and Sinergise.
CloudFerro has built and has been operated the entire EO data repository i.e. data acquisition, storage and dissemination, and has provided cloud services designed especially for EO data processing. Within 5 years from its launch in 2018, CREODIAS has gained over 20,000 registered users from 189 countries.
CREODIAS 2.0 is the first commercial element of Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem offered by a Consortium consisting of T-Systems as a leader, CloudFerro, Sinergise, VITO, DLR, ACRI-ST, and RHEA.
The platform provides immediate access to the Copernicus Sentinel satellites data and Services, Envisat and ESA/Landsat data and other EODATA. Thanks to its design, Third Party Users can prototype and build their own value-added services and products. A set of pertinent tools guarantees simplicity, scalability and repeatability of any services’ value chain. CREODIAS offers integrated public cloud services for data processing and serverless processing.
The EO Data repository contains Sentinel-1, 2, 3 and 5-P, Landsat-5, 7, 8, Envisat and many Copernicus Services data. The platform infrastructure and services are optimized for the processing of Earth Observation data, and supporting scientific, operational and commercial applications.
CREODIAS is constantly enhanced with new features and services, such as additional CloudFerro cloud infrastructures in new locations, Open Telekom Cloud, Sentinel Hub, OpenEO, additional data and much more.
What does CREODIAS provide to its users?
What applications do users find especially useful in CREODIAS?
Earth observation data stored on the CREODIAS platform is open, public, and free. The repository has over 67 petabytes of data and is growing by over 26 terabytes a day.
The collection of satellite data in the CREODIAS environment includes:
The free Copernicus data is complemented by commercial very high resolution (VHR) imagery, which is suitable for projects that require very high accuracy. These are multispectral, night and radar images, and they come from different VHR providers.

Users can access the satellite data repository in several ways, including the S3 object interface, NFS file interface, zipped download, WMS / WMTS, and using the REST API or POSIX access technology. Check data access details.
CREODIAS users can process data directly from the repository, without the need for time-consuming downloading to their own environment. Access to data is fast and efficient - our tests have shown users are able to download over 2 PB of data per day.
CREODIAS offers cloud computing services for satellite data processing: compute, storage, backup, data-related services, virtual networks, security, and others. The cloud infrastructure operating for the CREODIAS uses the OpenStack software, whose architecture consists of many interacting modules responsible for controlling processor resources, memory, and network infrastructure.
Users can manage their resources through the Horizon portal with graphical support or through the REST web interface. Infrastructure and services have been optimized for processing and working with satellite data. Optimization also regards the operation of external applications.
