Welcome to services page of European Space Agency (ESA) Grid Processing on Demand (G-POD) for Earth Observation Applications.

The ESA G-POD is a generic GRID-based operational environment where specific data handling applications can be seamlessly plugged into system. Coupled with high-performance and sizeable computing resources managed by GRID technologies, it provides the necessary flexibility for building an application virtual environment with quick accessibility to data, computing resources and results.
The G-POD web portal is a flexible, secure, generic and distributed plat-form where the user can easily manage all its tasks. From the creation of a new task to the result publication, passing by the data selection and the job monitoring, the user goes trough a friendly and intuitive interface accessible from everywhere.
