I was recently at a USPACOM lead Humanitarian Aid/DR type event and I saw a TON of opportunity for NICS with global participants, so I was thinking about you as well. It would be very interesting to brain storm how we could help satisfy the needs of both .mil and .org teams in times of crisis using NICS running in multiple AWS Regions.
A lot of the ‘table-talk’ conversation was around time delays associated with having to move large chunks of geo-data around. What we call ‘clip & ship’ in the geo-data world. We can help solve for that simply by getting teams that both create data and use data in the Cloud in the first place. As you probably know we already have satellite operators running on AWS, so this is not such a difficult problem.
You can see an example of that from Digital Globe in support o
