Traditional GIS software
• Based on desktops or local servers
• Single users, mostly GIS experts
• Requires the installation and maintenance
• Hardware
• Software
• Cannot support the needs of large-scale concurrent
access

GIS Software as a Service
• Provide focused, cloud-based clients and applications
• Integrate large volumes of geographic information
• Closely associated with both application areas (e.G., Geobusiness, policy, and community mapping) and the GIS
community in general
• Meet consumers’ demand of using GIS in a service-based
environment without acquiring the data or the
technology

Conclusion & Discussion
• This chapter introduces a variety of cloud-based applications and
services by using ArcGIS suite products as an example.
• Pioneering steps for applying the cloud into GIS domain, empowering
GIS with
•
•
•
•
sufficient computing capabilities,
minimized energy cost,
fast response,
wide accessibility to the public as needed
• How to fully utilize the capabilities and advantages of the cloud is still a
big issue.
• More radical and solid progress would take place toward mature Cloud
GIS systems and architectures.
