Abstract
System Design of an Enterprise GIS Based on ArcGIS 8.1, Oracle, and Citrix
Track: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): Christopher Kroot, Michael Smith, Stuart Rich, Jonathan Ives
Maine DEP (MDEP) has successfully implemented an enterprise GIS utilizing ArcGIS 8.1 software, Oracle Enterprise Database, Citrix application-serving software, and a number of custom objects that integrate with ArcGIS. This combination allows MDEP to provide full-functioning GIS for more than 150 users via LANs, WANs, and the Internet. The use of Citrix as a tool for enterprise GIS application serving will be discussed as well as issues pertaining to licensing and other software issues. Data and storage models will also be focusing on MDEP's implementation of ArcSDE 8.1 and Oracle8i on Sun servers and the use of gigabit ethernet in the server farm for GIS. Business requirements that could not be met with out-of-the-box software and how these requirements were met by designing and developing custom objects using Delphi, VBA, and C++ will be discussed.
