Dear Colleagues,

This seems like a good time to send a few reminders about the
redundant data systems the IGS has in place, which are designed
to keep the IGS working well even in the case of a failure at
a data center.

1. IGS data and products are available at several archives around
the globe.  Details on accessing each data/product type are available
via the IGS Data and Product tables, in the "Data and Products" area
of the IGS CB web site (URL below).  In the rightmost column of each
table, you find links for each Global Data Center providing that
data type.  Clicking those links will get you full information on
the access details.

If you find something missing from these tables, please let us know.
Regional Data Centers are not currently reflected here, but if
you need information about them, feel free to ask.

2. For operators of hourly stations:  please refer to the IGS site
guidelines for hourly sites:
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/guidelines/guidelines.html#hourly

Specifically, "4.1.2. Hourly files are to be transmitted simultaneously,
or at least in quick succession, to at least two data centers."

If you are not currently submitting data to two data centers, please
make this upgrade as soon as possible. You can find contact information
for the data centers in
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/organization/centers.html

As always, please contact me if you have comments, or if I can
answer any question.

Best regards,
Angie
