Dealing with “Data Boulders from Space”

• A single image from

WorldView3 is 12GB.

• We are imaging

24x7, adding 85TB

of imagery to our

archive, every day.

“Seeing a Better World” for 16 years, with more sensors at higher resolution,

adds up to a data management challenge.

Lessons we are learning with Snowmobile

• This is not plug and play (yet)

• Pre-planning and coordination is

critical.

• Understand payloads

beforehand – a lot of tuning to

optimized for our large files (i.e.

data boulders from space)

• The secret sauce: Compute

intensive translation between

legacy file systems like ours and

the data center on wheels

On orbit: Cloud-centric data management.

Philips HealthSuite & AWS

• What is HealthSuite?

• What are the challenges of IT in the Clinical Healthcare realm?

• Snowball Edge in HealthSuite

Clinical Healthcare IT Challenges

• Reliability / Availability / Serviceability – Always Up

• Performance – 3 seconds or less [500MB – 2TB per object]

• Connectivity – Capacity and Reliability

• User Perception / Trust

Mitigation – On-site edge device

Technology is now key to the delivery of care

Connectivity

Lack of access to broadband [ 25Mbps down / 3Mbps up ] affects:

• 10% of all Americans ( 34 million people )

• 39% of rural Americans ( 23 million people )

• 41% of Americans living on Tribal lands ( 1.6 million people)

• 68% living in rural areas of Tribal lands ( 1.3 million people )

• 66% of Americans living on U.S. territories ( 2.6 million people )

• 98% living in rural areas territorial areas (1.1 million people )
