Technical aspects
The web pages are plugged into your website
The weather pages that Weather Medium provides are plugged into your website. The simplest approach is to use sub-domain. We will being doing most of the work, there are only a few things that you need to do on your web server.
This is a known method that is widely used in the software industry. An example of this is the EasyJet – World Wide Search. It is run and maintained using this approach by the flight search company Dohop and is hosted by Amazon Web Services.
The pages are hosted on AWS or on premises
We run and monitor the weather pages for you. Our recommendation is to host the web pages using Amazon Web Services as their solution is considered to be in forefront when it comes to cloud services. AWS has also the most wide spread coverage of the players in the cloud industry with server centers on every continent (except Antarctica).
It is also possible to run the pages on premises should that be required.
About the data flow
You do decide what data gets used, forecasts, observations, etc. We can use your data and data from any 3rd party. Weather Medium does not manufacture any data but we can help provide data with the help of supporting parties. We can also provide world class consultants on weather data.
Once decided, the data needs to be set up to flow from your servers and the 3rd party servers to our servers. From there, the data is placed on the web pages. We will monitor the data flow continuously and notify you if there are some hiccups.
