## What we offer

EDH gives you access to **petabytes of Earth data**, ready for analysis from day one.

Datasets are organised into collections of homogeneous items and stored in cloud-optimised Zarr format, making them fast to access and easy to work with.

Because EDH is built on open standards, you can stream data directly over HTTP into the programming languages and tools you already use, with **no bespoke software required**.
