How the use of “Big Data” clusters improves off-line data analysis and operations

The ESA/ESOC Analysis and Reporting System (ARES) is required to provide support for off-line storage, analysis and display of several types of operational data in engineering form. This requirement, combined with the fact that most modern missions produce ever increasing volumes of data, has led to a significant growth of the level of requirements for the long term mission off-line data storage. Traditional implementation technologies, such as...
