Section 2 • ArcIMS • ArcGIS Server
Server GIS • ArcSDE – an advanced spatial data server for managing GIS in RDBMS • ArcIMS – a scalable Internet map server for GIS publishing • ArcGIS Server – a GIS application server for the enterprise
ArcIMS • ArcIMS: Mature, stable server-side technology for geopublishing on the internet/intranet. • High volume relatively simple cartography. • Access to advanced cartography through ArcMap Server or ArcGIS Desktop • Highly scaleable, cross platform. • Standards based architecture and communications • Open for developers – ArcXML • Java Dev Framework provided by MO Java • Connectors for ActiveX, CF, and Java Dev

The Role of ArcGIS Server • Provides server-based GIS capabilities • Spatially enable distributed IT applications • Embed maps and GIS analysis tools in applications • Supports centralized data management and services • Designed for Enterprise implementations • Distributed user access, GIS centric applications • Increase ROI, lower overall cost of ownership • Support & Administration, Development • Spatial Data Warehousing • Scaleable, Multi-platform (Windows, UNIX, Linux)
Summary of ArcGIS Server Benefits • ArcGIS server shares many of the same benefits of ArcIMS ArcMap Server: • Share ArcGIS map documents across a LAN or the Internet • Maintain high cartographic quality • Serve map layouts • Server maps using all ArcGIS supported data types • In addition, ArcGIS Server supports full customization of individual applications via ArcObjects. Examples include: • Dynamic layers • Dynamic symbology • Remote Editing
