Furthermore, GSSC Team is in the process to deploy GSSC Now in a new cluster to enhance system performance and scalability, as well as reducing costs and maintenance efforts. To achieve this objective, we took a stepped approach:

  1. Define new Cluster Configuration (COMPLETED)
  2. Migrate GSSC Databases (COMPLETED)
  3. Deployment of GSSC Now components into the new cluster (ON-GOING)

Finally, we intend to integrate some GNSS Now functionalities with ESA Datalabs, in order to fully exploit ESA capabilities, boost user experience and implement new functionalities such as ESA Datalabs Workspace services and ESA Datalabs Pipeline services for data analysis.

Get ready to explore the exciting enhancements in this update, designed to empower you with even greater functionality and efficiency!
