CloudTurbine significantly enhances the NASA "Virtual Presence" technology for flight research, wind tunnel testing, and other forms of collaborative data monitoring. It provides secure video distribution using existing cloud and web infrastructure. It brings the power and advantages of modern cloud computing to streaming data for flight operations. It is synergistic and compatible with both DataTurbine and WebScan systems, and leverages the investment and utility of these legacy technologies.
Potential non-NASA applications include scientific sensor applications such as environmental and Earth observation systems, a DataTurbine compatible enhancement for scientific researchers at http://dataturbine.org, smartphone photo/video sharing, and a new paradigm for streaming data content delivery networks. CloudTurbine addresses many significant needs of the expanding "Internet of Things" market, such as secure cost effective home appliance, utility and energy use monitoring.
