1 Overview of Server Technologies Katja Krivoruchko ESRI

2 Agenda Introduction to Server Technology Workflow Considerations ESRI Server Technology ArcSDE ArcGIS Server ArcGIS Image Server File Server Implementation Scenarios Steps to Success Resources

3 Server Technology Enables storage and serving of data from central servers Supports fast and efficient visualization and analytics increases network efficiency enables simultaneous multiuser access Enables sharing of data, maps, models throughout organizations

4 Example Network Traffic Compare amount of data transferred over network for: ArcSDE and ArcIMS 9.x UNC file sharing Image 1 (vector only) Image 2 (vector and image) ArcSDE/ArcIMS: 137 KB ArcSDE/ArcIMS: 542 KB UNC file sharing: 1124 KB UNC file sharing: KB

5 Many Products; Many Ways to Use Them ESRI Technology Comprehensive range of raster serving capabilities for GIS and other applications. Able to meet many different needs. Many scalable and high- performance solutions. all you need.

6 Workflow Considerations Choosing appropriate software requires understanding of business requirements: Do I need to serve data? Maps? Tools and models? Editors or viewers? If editors, multiple simultaneous editors? Will a web application support my users or do I need more? and IT capabilities: Will I need any custom development? Do I have programmers? What is my network bandwidth? Does staff know IIS (Tomcat, Apache, etc.)? Do I have a DBA?

31 Training Training is Mission-Critical By investing in GIS staff training,, you speed up the time it takes to implement a GIS solution saving saving time means saving money People ultimately bring life to GIS and insure a successful implementation Well trained staff can overcome obstacles The untrained or under-trained desktop user will cost five times more to support than a well-trained worker (Gartner, March 2006)

32 Enterprise GIS Solution Use Serve Author ArcGIS Desktop ArcGIS Explorer Web Mapping Application ArcGIS Server Desktop ArcGIS Mobile What training doineed? Open APIs

33 ESRI Training ESRI offers a variety of training options Free or low cost Virtual Campus Training Instructor-led (classroom) training Client-site training Custom training Multiple options for developing a training plan Work with your Training Coordinator (Kerri Manorek) and account manager

34 Example: Instructor-Led Classes Introduction to ArcGIS Server (2 days) Introduction to ArcGIS Image Server (2 days) Introduction to Multiuser Geodatabase (2 days) Developing Applications with ArcGIS Server, MS.NET or Java (3 days each) Data Management in the Multiuser Geodatabase (3 days) ArcGIS Server Enterprise Configuration and Tuning, for SQL Server or for Oracle (2 days each)

35 Implementation Scenarios

36 Implementation Scenario Organization: Small Port Authority About 10 square miles of area (800 MB of data) Business Needs: Enable non-gis users to make a map of work area Data Needs: One raster layer (does not change) Several background vector layers ( change quarterly) One layer with dynamic data (permitting) IT capabilities: GIS staff of one; no DBA One server

37 Implementation Suggestion Web application for non-gis users with minimal functionality Cached raster data (background) Dynamic vector data (background and permitting layer) Vector data stored and edited in ArcSDE Software Solution: ArcGIS Server Standard Workgroup Does not require DBA for data management Best performance over the network with cached rasters Easy-to to-use web application interface for non-gis professionals Training: Introduction to ArcGIS Server

38 Implementation Scenario Organization: Conservation Organization Large service area, small project areas Business Needs: Deploy raster tiles fast with minimal administration Data: Image tiles of service area IT Capability: Limited IT support

39 Implementation Suggestion Raster catalog requires almost no processing time Raster tiles can be turned off until zoomed to small area Software Suggestion: : No software (File Server) Pre-processed data Use highly compressed tiles (like MrSID) for best performance ESRI & 3rd party clients can access data

40 Implementation Scenario Organization: County Assessor Business Needs: Maintain parcel fabric 25 full-time editors IT Capabilities: SQL Server DBA

41 Implementation Suggestion ArcSDE for multiuser editing Software Suggestion: ArcGIS Server Basic Enterprise Basic edition enabled multiuser editing Enterprise capacity enables 25 simultaneous editors Enterprise capacity allows choice of RDBMS (SQL Server) Training: ArcGIS Server Configuration and Tuning for SQL Server Managing Editing Workflows in Multiuser Geodatabase

42 Implementation Scenario Organization: Public Works department of medium-sized City Business Needs: Utility Network analysis; 15 power users Ability to provide maps to non-gis users within organization Ability to edit data in the field IT Capabilities: Database of choice is Oracle; trained Oracle DBAs available Several programmers Server hardware available No laptops in the field; field crew has GPS-enabled Windows CE devices (cell phones)

43 Implementation Suggestion Geodatabase for data storage and network tracing Mobile ADF for field editing on cell phones Requires customization/programming Web application for non-gis users with easy-to to-use controls Software Solution: ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise Advanced edition enabled Mobile ADF Enterprise Capacity allows choice of RDBMS (Oracle) Training: Developing Applications with ArcGIS Server ArcGIS Server Configuration and Tuning for Oracle

44 Implementation Scenario Organization: Large Utility Business Needs: Large amounts of imagery need to be deployed enterprise-wide monthly Imagery needs to be accessible to variety of client applications, including web applications, CAD, and GIS clients IT Capability: Robust network infrastructure

45 Implementation Suggestion Avoid loading imagery into database Too much data (takes too long to load) Changes too fast (short lifespan once loaded) Expose imagery to non-esri clients Software Solution: ArcGIS Image Server No data loading (still need to build service overviews) No data pre-processing processing Accessible by multiple client applications ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server, AutoCAD, Microstation, Desktop Training: Introduction to ArcGIS Image Server

46 Steps to Success

47 Steps to Success Whatever solution you choose, TEST it Testing includes Functionality testing Performance testing Functionality testing Is web browser app really going to meet my business needs? Performance testing Shapefiles were slow, but is ArcSDE really any faster for me? ESRI offers special (=cheaper) licenses for development and testing environments Talk to your account manager

48 Steps to Success Have a plan for urgent situations Identify support channels for new workflows Internal Help Desk? External tech support? Services Available from ESRI Help Desk Setup Assistance Premium Support Services (PSS) Professional Services EEAP (ESRI Enterprise Advantage Program)
