ESA Contracts OVHcloud and CGI for Earth Observation Data Platform

The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded a 30-month contract to OVHcloud and CGI to build "Digital EO," a new computing infrastructure. This system will centralize storage, processing, and AI tools for Europe's Earth observation satellite data, aiming to support researchers, public bodies, and companies. It is significant as ESA expects to manage over 500 petabytes of data by 2035, enhancing access and utility of critical environmental information.
