Data Center & HPC
LSA data center
The LSA Data Center is a key element of the Luxembourg Space Agency’s strategy to broaden access to space-related data.
It offers reliable, fast and intuitive access to some of the data streams from the European Copernicus Earth Observation programme, which collates information from the EU’s Sentinel satellites, as well as from air, sea, and land sensors on Earth.
Accurate Data with Practical Applications
The LSA Data Centre supports the development of new products and services that rely on accurate Earth observation data. Detailed optical and radar imaging data have a multitude of potential applications – from environmental management and helping to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change to ensuring civil security.
New products that rely on these data are of increasing importance to businesses in sectors including agriculture, insurance and finance, aviation, road traffic management, public transport, maritime services, and meteorology.
Digital Innovation (HPC)
Luxembourg is leading a major European project involving high-performance computing and big data-enabled applications.
Conscious of the opportunities offered by a data-driven economy and the importance of developing exascale supercomputing facilities in Europe, Luxembourg is leading a major European project involving high-performance computing and big data-enabled applications, in order to develop a sustainable ecosystem around digital capabilities.
The ability to combine massive computing power with data generated by multiple sources including satellites and space exploration as well as the Internet of Things will create new applications with the potential for significant economic change. The result promises substantial benefits in areas including environmental risk monitoring, water resource management, and intelligent support of agriculture.
This is why the Grand Duchy is leading a European big data-enabled ‘smart space’ and e-mobility testbed involving partners from more than one industrial sector.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
EuroHPC, headquartered in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a joint initiative co-financed by the European Union and participating European countries to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem and advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence and data processing.
MeluXina, Luxembourg’s national supercomputer, is designed to respond to the needs of researchers, public institutions and industry. It supports projects in fields such as scientific research, personalised medicine, digital health, climate modelling, engineering and data-intensive innovation, while also serving the needs of companies — in particular SMEs and start-ups. A dedicated competence centre provides guidance and support to organisations with limited in-house HPC expertise. Hosted and operated by LuxConnect, MeluXina delivers a computing capacity in the range of several petaflops, placing Luxembourg among Europe’s leading digital and data infrastructures.
