WDS Member Organizations: Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), Data Services and UNAVCO

Abstract:
IRIS and UNAVCO are integrating their data services into a single cloud-based system to serve the Seismological and Geodetic communities.  This unified system for data handling, product generation, discovery, and delivery is being designed to be agnostic to the cloud infrastructure provider.  Commonalities in the IRIS and UNAVCO systems will be re-engineered as scalable common subsystems wherever possible, with adapters between subsystems so that data types can be easily integrated.  The resulting system is intended to be both ‘nimble’ (supporting multiple data types), and horizontally scalable (supporting increases in data volumes).
