The DIAS (Data and Information access services) are cloud-based platforms developed to facilitate and standardise the access to Copernicus data and information. The platforms provide access to Sentinel data and to Copernicus operational services; they also host specific applications and tools.
It is expected that these DIASs will evolve over time and the pricing will be updated to meet these
changes.
This wesbite will be updated periodically to reflect the service and price evolutions.

For the pricing comparison we defined two virtual machines: a basic system, which may be used for testing and development purposes, and a more powerful option, which may be a production level specification. The specifications for the virtual machines are as follows:
Basic VM
CPU: 4 cores
RAM: 16 GB
Storage: 100 GB local storage
Advanced VM
CPU: 8 cores
RAM: 64 GB
Storage: 250 GB local storage
To assess the options provided by the DIAS provides we sent a request to their respective support systems with requests for prices for the machines specified above. The requests were sent on 27th May and providers were given a week to reply. The DIAS providers mostly offer a tiered pricing based on whether you are renting for a short period or committing to rent for a longer period. These differences are reflected in the pricing.
| Basic VM short term |
Basic VM long term (1 year contract) |
