As we kick off 2026, the excitement is building for the upcoming Esri FedGIS Conference in Washington, DC, on February 10–11. The Real-Time GIS team is thrilled to welcome both new and returning attendees to this year’s event. Join us to learn about advancements in ArcGIS Velocity and ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, the core products that bring powerful real-time capabilities for ingesting, analyzing, and disseminating critical information.
ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise (Public Beta)
Velocity powers Esri’s real-time processing and analysis capability, enabling users to ingest, visualize, and analyze spatial real-time to gain new insights and take action. We are excited to announce that the public beta of ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows and Linux is now available. Now you can host Velocity in your own environment to explore streaming, incident, and asset data on maps and dashboards, identify temporal patterns, and extract location-based intelligence.
Currently, Velocity is available as an extension to ArcGIS Online. With the public beta of Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise, these same core real-time feed and analytic capabilities are now available for self-hosted deployments on Windows and Linux. From small to large private firms, to national agencies, Velocity now provides high-performance, self-hosted real-time tools within your existing GIS environment.
