ArcGIS for Server Functionality

Both ArcGIS for Server Enterprise and Workgroup offer a choice between three functional editions.

• Basic—You get geodatabase management and the ability to publish feature services for map visualization and query (no editing). You also get the geometry service and the ability to publish geodata services. No extensions are available for the Basic edition.
• Standard—You get everything in the Basic edition, plus all the GIS web service types available with ArcGIS Server. You can also support web-based editing using feature services. Finally, you can publish geoprocessing services from any tools included in ArcGIS for Desktop Standard. The Schematics extension is included, with several other extensions available for purchase.
• Advanced—You get everything in the Basic and Standard editions, plus the ability to publish geoprocessing services from any of the tools included in ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced. You can also publish and manage mobile data services. Four powerful analytic extensions are included with this edition plus Schematics. All other extensions are optionally available for purchase.

*Spatially enabled databases are those that include native database spatial data types.
