SpatialCloud is a geospatial services company providing enterprise-readyweb-based tools to warehouse, process, publish, and visualize geodata
SpatialCloud web services enables application developers and content providers to upload, process, store, and distribute 2D & 3D geodata for their own use or resale. Based on cloud-computing concepts, SpatialCloud allows users to outsource the infrastructure and maintenance of traditionally one of the most costly components of the GeoWeb stack, high-resolution image content and associated 3D data. SpatialCloud services are intended for customers who require reliable, high-quality, global, geospatial data sets in applications serving from one to thousands of users. SpatialCloud is also for those who do not want themselves or their users to be encumbered by licensing restrictions and expensive infrastructure.
Reliable enterprise-class hosting
SpatialCloud is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Developers and content providers benefit from a highly-scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. SpatialCloud’s initial offering is seamless, license-free, on-demand, and pay-as-you-go coverage of the USA (USDA NAIP) and the World (Landsat). More high-resolution imagery datasets will be available as acquired from private and government sources.

Pay-as-you-go pricing
SpatialCloud uses the same pricing model as AWS. You pay for what you use. This means individual and corporate users can benefit from having a SpatialCloud account. Tiered pricing means as total usage goes up, the price of data goes down, making SpatialCloud pricing viable for large public sites as well. The best part is it’s easy to give SpatialCloud a try - especially if you already have an Amazon login.

Flexible Licensing
SpatialCloud's goal is to give the world access to high-resolution imagery on a global scale - imagery which can be used, sold, and resold as needed. For instance, the SpatialCloud NAIP dataset falls under the very open Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. SpatialCloud content allows users to deploy or resell without heavy licensing restrictions. Combined with vector data such as Open Street Maps (OSM) (from providers such as CloudMade) and tools such as Openlayers, you can deploy large-scale applications with imagery.

Processing and host your data
You may also store and distribute your own imagery using SpatialCloud. Your data (aerial or satellite photography, orthophotos, or other rasters) will be turned into a seamless, fast, web-viewable dataset. Then SpatialCloud will store and serve up that data for you so you never have to worry about its availability to users. This also drastically reduces your infrastructure costs by putting your data in the cloud.
