ArcGIS Server Hosting

As a general rule, I don't post things here that are ROK Technologies specific. Yes, I do post on occasional demo or recently released site if I think it merits a mention. I usually stick to tips and tricks that I find when using ESRI based products.

So, this is my rare exception to that rule. We have been hosting ArcGIS Server & ArcIMS applications for a long time now - but usually for our existing clients for whom we have developed an application for. However, as time passed, it became clear to us that there was a real need for better, widespread ArcGIS Server hosting. ArcGIS Server, especially with 9.3 has opened up GIS applications to the masses. That sounds very cliché I know, but it really is true this time. These ArcGIS Server services can be published and used in so many different types of clients (desktop, web, etc). But, we are also aware, that setting up a full fledged ArcGIS server environment is not an inexpensive proposition. There are some serious hardware (think multiple quad core, disk space for cached maps), software (think SQL Server & ArcGIS Server), and bandwidth requirements (more than you would think, especially for tiles!) to be addressed. The costs for implementation add up quickly. We won't even get into the ongoing maintenance required. Some folks just want to publish a service and be done with it. And we understand that. Being responsive and always available to our clients is our mantra. If you call us, we pick up the phone, and get it done.

So, that being said, I'd like you to know about ROK Technologies ArcGIS Server hosting options. We have some serious infrastructure inplace (see below) and can handle any sized site you require. Some folks may just want to host services to consume in their self hosted applications. Some may want to offload their map cache tiles onto our high speed fiber network to free up their machines for serving their dynamic map services at full capacity.

Do you have some data, but not quite sure what to do with it? We can provide a turnkey (think tax assessor site, data browser, and parcel viewer) website that's all inclusive (ArcGIS License, hosting & development). Yes, we can do it fast. Send us your data, and well send you your URL the next day.

Or, maybe you need the soup to nuts solution - geodatabase replication, custom application development/hosting, and map cache management. We have you covered there too.

Take advantage of our infrastructure. Think about freeing yourself up a bit. Our years and years of experience can help you get your site up and running fast (and right). Please do get in touch if you have any questions. info@roktech.net 888.898.3404
