What is G-BOX?
G-BOX is a customisable cloud-based virtual machine (VM) for algorithm development, testing and post processing analysis, providing fast access to the dataset offered by the Copernicus Data and Information Access Services – DIAS. With high-speed network connections, proper resource flexibility, powerful hardware resources from the cloud and many EO datasets available on-line, G-BOX enables you to test and run your algorithms: the G-BOX VM is already equipped with software for Heritage Missions data exploitation to allow you to analyse and post process output data produced by the P-PRO processing services.
Key Features
GET STARTED STRAIGHT AWAY
The G-BOX is ready-to-use as it comes with the following pre-installed software supporting Heritage Missions data exploitation: SNAP, Jupiter Notebook, Python, GDAL, QGIS, BRAT, Panoply, AMORGOS and SCIAMACHY. Additional software can be installed on request.
UPGRADE RESOURCES WHEN YOU NEED IT
G-BOX offers a flexible amount of CPU, RAM and storage tailored to your requirements. You can request more CPUs, RAM and storage if you need it, and we will upgrade it compatibly with the cloud infrastructure constraints.
ACCESS YOUR G-BOX FROM ANYWHERE
You can access your G-BOX via your own devices (PC, laptop, tablet) from anywhere. You can remotely access your VM via your own PC using SSH for command line access, x2go for remote desktop and JupyterLab for http web access.
COLLABORATE WITH YOUR WHOLE TEAM
G-BOX makes multiple users’ access to the same virtual machine possible. You will be enabled to code and run tests with your team members so that everyone stays on the same page.
EXPLOIT MASS CONFIGURATION
You can request to configure tens of VMs with the same settings. This makes G-BOX a suitable environment for supporting Heritage Missions-related trainings as students will have access to different virtual machines with the same settings through their own devices.
