Güralp Data Box
- ~ 18 months recording for a network of ~ 20 instruments
- Real-time SeedLink restreaming
- minSEED and metadata archive
- Network state-of-health dashboard with alerting
A powerful seismic data streaming, archiving, event detection and monitoring solution in a box.
Güralp Data Box (GDB) adds a layer of redundancy to seismic data acquisition workflow. GDB comes loaded with Güralp Data Centre (GDC) software designed to manage network configurations ranging from individual instruments to extensive distributed arrays. It provides efficient handling of multiple data streams while maintaining long-term reliability.
GDC consists of several applications that provide system state of health monitoring, data collection, download, streaming and remote configuration with quality assurance capabilities.
Also included is MAGNA, an advanced event detection and processing framework module.
GDB, vastly extends the range of powerful tools available through Güralp Discovery software and Minimus firmware, empowering you to manage a seismic network at any scale.
Also included is MAGNA, an advanced event detection and processing framework module. MAGNA delivers continuous waveform monitoring and automatic seismic trigger identification and filtering. Detected events are analysed in real-time and passed to the integrated location engine to determine epicentre position, magnitude and ground motion estimates. Shake-maps and preliminary event summaries, provide users with rapid situational insight for seismic monitoring and early-response applications.
Güralp Data Box software components
- SeedLink ringserver - real-time ingestion and streaming of miniSEED data
- miniSEED data archive: manage waveform data, digitiser and instrument response files
- Registry server - automatically identifies instruments on the network without the requirement for fixed IP addresses
- Güralp responder service - collects and distributes state of health information from Güralp devices on the network.
- GDC monitoring service – sends periodic state of health information packets on the network’s performance and performs latency monitoring.
- Güralp Discovery application: An integrated application for configuring and monitoring GDC, managing Güralp stations, and providing advanced analysis and diagnostic tools.
GDC uses the miniSEED data format and SeedLink communication protocol for integration with established acquisition and analysis systems.
Pre-installed and ready to go!
The GDB is supplied with all software components pre-loaded, licensed and fully integrated, ensuring minimum setup time.
Upon power-up, instruments can be detected, configured and brought online using built-in network management and system health monitoring tools. This supports rapid deployment for permanent or temporary seismic installations with minimal integration into existing infrastructure.
The GDB’s compact form factor makes it suitable for installation in field huts, observatory racks and mobile deployments where space may be restricted.
Alternative set-up options
On the basis that no two network requirements are the same, we also have the flexibility to offer GDC as a Cloud-base service or software solution:
Cloud GDC
Access all GDC tools including archiving, forwarding and interrogation via a cloud-hosted service, with maintenance, upgrades and infrastructure management handled by Güralp specialist.
Hosted GDC
For organisations that prefer to manage operations in-house there is the option to deploy GDC on your own infrastructure. This solution includes full access to archiving, forwarding and analysis tools, for a one-off licence fee with optional annual support for updates and bespoke development.
