Climate, Environment and Monitoring from Space (CEMS) is a unique, purpose-built service offering space-based climate change and Earth Observation (EO) data and services in conjunction with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud-based computing.

CEMS was established in 2013 with support from the UK Government and the UK Space Agency to provide a data storage and processing facility that enables research, innovation and growth through the exploitation of satellite and Earth observation data. The data storage and processing resources are operated with the express purpose of bringing users to the data. CEMS enables Third Parties and SMEs to establish and offer cutting edge services via dedicated private, scalable and secure environments.

Compute resource allocation is flexible and designed to scale with a client’s business needs. Resources are allocated directly to each tenant’s environment to guarantee performance. Each resource is priced individually and charged on a monthly basis or on demand.

CEMS has a team of dedicated and experienced support engineers who can provide a fast response to any technical questions and ensure that your cloud environment is set up and maintained efficiently, securely and in line with industry best practices. We also offer consultancy services on EO data and usage, with experts from within our team at Harwell and verified consultants from the commercial and academic sectors.
