While many organizations choose to deploy web-based GIS infrastructure in-house, hosting and co-location offer a number of compelling benefits that makes outsourcing software, hardware and/or deployment expertise an ideal solution.
Latitude Geographics Group Ltd. offers four types of hosting/co-location services:
Complete Internet map site hosting
Latitude Geographics is a licensed Application Service Provider (ASP) for ESRI's ArcGIS Server/ArcIMS software. This allows us to host ArcGIS Server/ArcIMS (Standard Edition) using ArcSDE on our servers for clients. Hosting clients are not required to license any software or purchase any hardware. All aspects of deployment are completely managed and included.
With no long-term commitment, our hosting is an excellent, risk-free way for people to get started with ArcGIS Server/ArcIMS.
Managed Co-location hosting
With Managed Server Co-location, a client's ArcGIS Server/ArcIMS architecture (software and hardware) is deployed from the Latitude Geographics Data Centre and is managed by our team of expert administrators. Outsourcing ArcGIS Server/ArcIMS deployment to Latitude Geographics is an extremely cost-effective way to deploy your web-based GIS, while ensuring maximum security, performance and uptime. There is no long term contract, and we have a proven migration strategy should you wish to redeploy in-house at any time. This service is extremely popular with clients--ask to talk to some of our existing co-location clients
Geocortex IMF map viewer hosting
Intended for clients already operating ArcIMS, this is a fast, sophisticated replacement for existing HTML or ASP viewers.
Emergency/Mirrored hosting
Emergency and mirrored hosting provides additional insurance for your organization, should a sudden system failure or other technical difficulties occur.
