By moving from on-premises storage to AWS, the University of Alaska (UAF) Satellite Facility gained the elasticity, storage, and compute capabilities needed for researchers without extensive cloud knowledge to access files quickly and affordably. The University of Alaska Satellite Facility downlinks, processes, archives, and distributes remote-sensing data to scientific users around the world. Chris Stoner, science specialist at the UAF Satellite Facility, discusses the organization's mission and how AWS supports that mission.
