Our 2-week Architecture Design assessment sets the foundation for your organization to implement ArcGIS operational requirements in Microsoft Azure, AWS, ArcGIS Online, or on-premise hybrid architectures.
Our process is designed to help customers accelerate and de-risk ArcGIS cloud adoption.- Identify the business goals, outputs, and processes
- Define the relevant use cases, epics, user stories
- Gather non-functional requirements and service level agreements
- Map the relevant business requirements to the technology
- Design the conceptual architecture
- Design the business user needs architecture
- Design the application architecture
- Identify cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or ArcGIS Online
- Identify deployment patterns for ArcGIS Enterprise
- Design the data architecture
- Design the approach to security
- Design the network architecture
- Design the platform architecture
- Design the storage, backup and security configuration
- Design integration and interoperability
- Determine capacity planning and performance requirement
- Migration Readiness Assessment
- Build a phase/mitigation plan
- Consider environment isolation, DevOps, load balancing, content delivery, workload separation
- ArcGIS Server roles and extensions including Image, GeoAnalytics, GeoEvent, Business Analyst, and Notebook server.
- Estimated Azure/AWS usage and monthly consumption estimate
- Plan for Proof of Concept (POC) pilot whereby current on-premise architecture is deployed to cloud to compare/contrast (rehosting/lift and shift), or, a cloud-native refactored (decoupled) cloud architecture
- Scope of Work for Professional Services
Week One Agenda

Leveraging the System Architecture and Design recommendations, GCS will provide consulting services to develop a Cloud Readiness Assessment and Migration Roadmap. The Cloud Readiness Assessment will classify the organization’s GIS existing environment, workflows, services, data, and applications against cloud migration criteria and considerations. The Migration Roadmap will outline recommended migration approach, milestones, deliverables and a schedule.
