17. EOS Processing Transition to NSOF

18. EOS Transition to NSOF • Level 1 product generation code has been ported to Linux at NSOF • Team is working on porting Level 2 product generation code to Linux but have encountered problems • Staffing Problem • The person originally doing the porting had to go out on short term disability • Staff has been spending time repairing hardware and searching for replacement for disable person. • Liang Chen was selected and is now filling-in • MOD07 Problem • Staff has encountered a coding problem that has not been easily solved. Solving this problem should solve other problems.

19. EOS Transition to NSOF (Continued) • Currently making Level 2 products on SGI at NASA. • Investigation currently underway to determine if new line from NASA is needed. • Some think that the current line is sufficient • Some believe that a new line is needed • Some believe that we should wait for NASA to put a point of presence (POP) at NSOF • Currently sending Aqua Northern Hemisphere to AFWA via Gateway and subset to other Centers. • Need to investigate loading BBFTP on Gateway to receive files from Linux machines at NSOF.

20. Gateway Replacement

21. ESDA Gateway Replacement • COB has received two new P550 w/p6 processors • Systems are currently being validated and promoted to production to replace Satepsdist and Satepsdist backup • Expected to be completed by October 30, 2008. • Plan to use old P550 w/p5 processor to replace the current Gateway • Need to complete the following: • Setup • Configuration • Testing • Validation • Promotion to Production • Expected to be completed in November 2008
