3. Overview  Upload Researchers send products to the map server  Management RealEarth saves products for a set time range  Serving Many formats to many types of clients Ingestor/Server

4. Serves  Rasters: images

5. Serves  Rasters: images  Vectors: points lines and polygons

6. Serves  Rasters: images  Vectors: points lines and polygons  Metadata: text and layer values

7. Data Sources  CIMSS/SSEC  Unidata  NESDIS  NCEP – AWC, SPC, NHC & WPC  and many more!

8. Proxy to Other RealEarth VMs Proxy collects and combines information (tiles, shapes, metadata, etc) from the appropriate host and returns the result to the client Requests made to gateway on port 80 product6 product3 product4 :80 :8001 :8002 :8003 :80 VM Host Proxy VM

9. Sharing and Exporting 1. Easy sharing with other software 2. Facebook and Twitter integration

10. Serving Tiles  NWS Enhanced Data Display (EDD)
