What makes GEO Analytics Canada Different
GEO Analytics Canada isn’t the only satellite EO data analytics platform out there. We’ve used the platforms ourselves, and have worked with partners to develop other platforms. So what makes GEO Analytics Canada different?

Install on your own cloud infrastructure
- GEO Analytics Canada platform showcases how you can address the big geospatial data challenge
- Our data analytics platform can be installed on your own cloud computing infrastructure thereby keeping your data and systems private and confidential

Cloud native
- GEO Analytics Canada platform is built from the ground-up to leverage the power of cloud computing
- Cloud geospatial involves more than simply migrating desktop apps to the cloud

Infrastructure vendor agnostic
- GEO Analytics Canada platform can be installed on a wide variety of cloud computing providers
- Exploit pre-existing distributed data stores, such as Landsat and Sentinel data
- Can use only Canadian data storage and compute resource to fulfill Canadian privacy laws which require data to be kept in Canada

Developer friendly
- GEO Analytics Canada platform enables you to develop your own algorithms and systems in Python
- Scale processing dynamically and massively using containerized algorithms and applications

Part of an ecosystem of open architected systems
- GEO Analytics Canada platform is a starting point towards an open architected, distributed ecosystem approach
- Your platform should not require all data and tools to be centralized in one place – data and processing resources can be distributed

Supports open science
- GEO Analytics Canada platform supports the key tenants of open science
- “openness, transparency, scrutiny and traceability of results, access to large volume of complex data, and the availability of community open tools”

Canadian focused
- Uses only Canadian data storage and compute resource
- Supports Canadian organizations that are required to fulfill Canadian privacy laws which require data to be kept in Canada

Open Protocols
- GEO Analytics Canada implements the latest modern spatial and OGC Standards
- Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalogues (STAC); OGC API-Features; OGC API-Tiles; OGC API-Processes
