Why need GIS for System Design


Why need GIS for System Design and Architecture

The purpose of this document is to share how to design a system for rapid deployment of appropriate and (GIS) Geographic Information Systems technology. How to design this system, which consists of guidelines for the provision of the necessary hardware specific business requirements, the selection of the best software, the use of a data source that is configured properly, and to improve user productivity. This document will focus on the (GIS to function without problems even when the peak load during operation) performance and scalability of the system. Topic is also an important feature and software (GIS needs of the user) analysis of business requirements, we are not deeply touched. In "Thinking about GIS" Thinking about GIS book by Dr. Roger Tomlinson, known as the father of GIS, GIS framework of a comprehensive plan has proven already been introduced. To design the system architecture, you will need to identify the software for GIS information to clarify the necessary information to generate their results.

System architecture design is the process was invented by Esri work for a successful operation in the enterprise GIS. In this process, with an understanding of information technology existing, and proposes a concrete hardware and network solutions based on the needs and expected (user) the current business needs. To determine the optimal hardware solutions, all application requirements, data sources, human resources, these will be an important element (see Figure). Experience from the initial implementation of GIS, the importance of understanding the relationship between the load requirements and can be recognized. In other words, from the user's workflow business requirements, the need for deriving the load on the infrastructure of the underlying hardware and network will be recognized. Among them, investigate the business needs of the GIS, on made it clear (architectural patterns of applications and data) Workflow general business, establishing a process to determine the technology solution for production GIS according to the method of system architectural design will be.
