ArcGIS Server in Practice Series: High-Capacity Map Services: A Use Case with CORINE Land:Cover Data [PDF]
This document provides practical information on how to implement high-capacity map services with ArcGIS Server using the European Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) land-cover data as an example. It presents sample ArcGIS Server system deployments and their performance metrics, along with a collection of tips and deployment considerations for high-capacity map services using ArcGIS Server Standard Enterprise edition.

ArcGIS Server in Practice Series: Best Practices for Creating an ArcGIS Server Web Mapping Application for Municipal/Local Government [PDF]
This document gives a scenario of a medium-sized city wanting to build a Web mapping application that allows city government personnel to perform common spatial analysis tasks. It guides users through the process of building the application using ArcGIS Server and illustrates best practices. The document also describes the logic behind certain implementation/configuration decisions.

ArcGIS Server and Virtualization [PDF]
This document provides an overview of virtualization and addresses some of the most common questions regarding ArcGIS Server and virtualization, including major decision factors for considering virtualization and the advantages of deploying ArcGIS Server in a virtualized environment.

Geographic Information in Enterprise Architecture: Principles Supporting e-Government Business Functions [PDF]
This paper, provided by Informi GIS A/S, illustrates how GIS supports enterprise architecture based on service-oriented principles: strengthening collaboration across organizational boundaries; streamlining processes and automating tasks; and improving services to citizens through new, innovative approaches to e-government. It includes three case studies.

ArcGIS Server in Practice Series: Large Batch Geocoding
This document describes an ArcGIS Server Standard Enterprise configuration hosting geocoding services suitable for both a heavy transactional load of interactive geocodes and large-scale batch geocoding. It includes eight helpful tips for setting up large batch geocoding jobs, along with a helper script tool, which must be downloaded separately. ServerGeocode.zip [ZIP-20 KB]

Who Uses ArcGIS Server? [PDF]
This white paper describes how ArcGIS Server benefits everyone in an organization. From GIS professionals to the mobile workforce, ArcGIS Server can help everyone improve their workflows, communicate with others, and make better decisions.

ArcGIS Enterprise Security: Delivering Secure Solutions [PDF]
Effective enterprise security can be a challenge for IT architects and security specialists who design, deploy, and support mission-critical solutions. While recent industry advancements, especially in the areas of Web services standards and service-oriented architectures, are helping architects more effectively meet their security objectives, these new capabilities are also contributing to an already complex set of protocols, tools, and architectures.

An Overview of Distributing Data with Geodatabases [PDF]
This white paper describes data distribution involving copy creation of the data and distributing data between two or more geodatabases. To keep the copies in sync, data distribution also includes a means to apply edits made to each copy across all copies. This paper discusses cases where you will need to distribute your data and introduces the options available.

Geospatial Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) [PDF]
This white paper describes the basic components that support a geospatial SOA in a vendor-neutral framework, then describes how ESRI components fit into this framework.

Developing and Deploying an Integrated Geoenabled SOA Business Solution: A Case Study [PDF]
In this case study, multiple disparate information systems and heritage data sources were integrated to deliver a flexible business solution using a service-oriented approach. Specifically, standards-based SOA-enabling technologies and design principles were used to integrate GIS spatial analysis and visualization services, along with other business information systems, in a Web-based, service-oriented business application environment.

GIS-Based Enterprise Solutions with WebSphere Server and ArcGIS Server [PDF]
Geographic information systems play a role in the process of solving critical business problems in industries such as government, utilities, retail, banking, insurance, oil and gas, transportation, and health. Gathering and summarizing information about the geographic location and the movement of core business elements is essential to the operation of today's enterprises.
