Presentation Notes

Cloud computing: resources are made available over the internet. Resources are extensible and highly visualized and are provided as a service. Applications Platforms Infrastructure. In-house computing: locally maintaining all necessary resources. Traditional approach until the very recent popularity of cloud computing.


Example #1: Ground

• Traditional enterprise architecture and IT support model


Transmission Integrated Geospatial Enterprise Resource (TIGER)

• Intranet/Web

browser

• ~250 Users

• > 1 TB of Data

• > 100 Map Layers

• Linked to 3

Enterprise Databases

• Linked to DMS


TIGER


Cloud Examples: (GSaaS)

• Geospatial Software as a Service • Leverage remote servers, technical support,

and data


Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway TIGER (MAPP TIGER)


Environmental Geospatial Resource & Engineering Tool (EGRET)


Conserve Georgia GIS


Example #5: Hybrid (GSaaS)

• Cloud resources leveraged for development • Production version “on the ground”
