Cloud GIS System Architecture and Design Services
Are you looking to build a new Geographic Information System (GIS) or migrate an existing one to the cloud? GCS offers expert System Architecture and Design services to help organizations plan an effective cloud environment tailored to their needs. Whether you are considering leading cloud infrastructure providers like Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, or contemplating a hybrid strategy of on-premises and cloud solutions, our team will guide you through the process.
Key Benefits of Our Cloud GIS Services:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We will assess your requirements, facilitate discussions, and evaluate cloud design alternatives to determine the best cloud GIS architecture based on your business drivers and technical requirements.
- Cloud Configuration Recommendations: After our assessment, organizations will receive detailed recommendations in a Cloud System Architecture and Design document.
Get Started with Our 2-Week ArcGIS Cloud Architecture Design
Our 2-week Architecture Design Assessment lays the groundwork for implementing ArcGIS operational requirements in Microsoft Azure, AWS, ArcGIS Online, or hybrid on-premises architectures. This process is specifically designed to help organizations accelerate and de-risk ArcGIS cloud adoption.
Deliverable: ArcGIS Cloud Architecture Design Document.
What the 2-Week Assessment Includes:
- Identify Business Goals and Outputs: Understand the business objectives and necessary processes.
- Define Use Cases and User Stories: Capture relevant use cases, epics, and user stories.
- Gather Non-Functional Requirements: Establish service level agreements and operational needs.
- Map Business Requirements to Technology: Align business needs with the right technology solutions.
- Design Conceptual and Application Architectures: Create a comprehensive architecture that meets user needs.
- Identify Cloud Providers: Choose the best provider for your requirements, such as AWS, Azure, or ArcGIS Online.
- Design Data and Network Architectures: Plan for data management, security, and network configurations.
- Migration Readiness Assessment: Evaluate your existing environment and develop a phased migration plan.
- Plan for Proof of Concept (POC): Test and compare current on-premises architectures against cloud solutions.
Week One Agenda
- Determine primary design requirements.
- Reach agreement on requirements.
- Start on preliminary design.
- Review and gather feedback on preliminary design.
- Finalize preliminary design requirements.
Week Two Agenda
- Begin final design.
- Review and gather feedback on final design.
- Present final design.
ArcGIS Cloud Readiness and Roadmap
After completing the System Architecture and Design phase, GCS will assist in developing a Cloud Readiness Assessment and Migration Roadmap. This assessment will evaluate your existing GIS environment, workflows, services, data, and applications against cloud migration criteria. The roadmap will outline the recommended migration approach, milestones, deliverables, and timelines.
