ArcGIS for Server Features Overview

Deliver GIS Services

Your ArcGIS for Server site is a GIS services power plant for your enterprise. You get centralized management of all your services for mapping, imagery, globes, geocoding, geodata management, and more. And you can deliver powerful GIS functionality, such as web editing, network analysis, and schematics, as well as modelling, statistical, and other geo-analytic tools.

Respond to the Demand for Maps and GIS Tools

ArcGIS for Server’s IT friendly architecture lets you quickly scale your GIS system to accommodate spikes in demand, as well as grow your capacity along with your customer base. You can add and remove GIS servers as needed within your own infrastructure, in virtualized environments, and in the cloud.

The services you create and manage with ArcGIS for Server can be integrated with your enterprise applications—giving the end-user the power of GIS in a single click.
