Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking information from industry on commercially available sources and capabilities that can meet the requirements for Multi-Cloud Enterprise Data Infrastructure Services. The goal of this project is to accelerate NOAA's cloud migration and enterprise data management capabilities by partnering with industry to prototype and operationalize a high-availability, enterprise, multi-cloud data-enabled platform. The platform should be capable of bridging operational data generation with scientific and analytical data workflows, centralized science development with transition to operations capabilities, and secure public data access to meet integrated NOAA workflows and data requirements.
Some of the key features of the platform include:
• A modern data architecture that offers federation, data storage, and virtualization through a common catalog
• A scientific development area that offers virtualized workstations and compute to support innovation and development on the data
• Secure data access service with connection to all integrated data in the infrastructure
• Interoperability with various COTS data platforms
• Automated continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines to accelerate science development
• APIs/interfaces to support AI agents for discovery and workflow automation
• Capabilities for data science, analytics, and AI/ML development offered by commercial unified data analytics platforms
