    "description": "The Met Office is responsible for services delivering meteorological observations to a global audience on behalf of three EUMETNET Observations Programmes (E-Profile, EGVap and E-ABO). The Met Office has delivered these observations services for more than a decade. The IT systems delivering the services managed by the Met Office, on behalf of EUMETNET, are commonly known as Datahubs.\nThe E-ADAS (EUMETNET AMDAR data acquisition system) Datahub processes AMDAR observations from European airlines that are part of the EUMETNET aircraft-based\nobservations programme (EABO). The E-Profile Datahub processes data from several types of observing instrument that vertically profile the atmosphere. These instruments include radar wind-profilers, automatic LIDARs and Ceilometers. The E-GVap Datahub is the simplest of the three. The E-GVap Datahub receives data in a standard format (from the geodetic community) and converts these data into a format that can be used by NMHSs.\nThe three Datahubs are currently operational but are reaching end-of-life due to their age and deployment on Met Office on-premises platforms (LINUX VMs). The use of on premises platforms is contrary to the Met Office strategy of using public cloud (i.e.Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services).\nTo ensure the long-term viability of the datahubs, the Met Office is looking to work with a partner to redevelop and then operationally support all three datahubs.",
