In the Cloud

When you use ArcGIS for Server in the Cloud, you're using the Cloud provider's compute infrastructure instead of your own. You still get the same capabilities for managing and delivering GIS services and applications as you do when you run ArcGIS for Server on-premises.

Esri offers preconfigured ArcGIS for Servers in the Cloud that are ready to use in less than 20 minutes. All you have to do is decide if you want to manage your Cloud account yourself or if you want us to manage it for you.
