Abstract

Virtualization of Geospatial Systems: Advantages in a Deployed Environment
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Authors: Sean Kyzar, Dave Williams

Difficulties abound when managing a geographically disparate GIS infrastructure. Add in personnel turnover, multi-tiered support organizations, and rapidly changing missions, scalability, standardization, and networking become keystones on which success is founded. Virtualization gives us a foundation upon which scalability and standardization can be built. Since 2007, ACC IGI&S has been virtualizing all new and replacement systems coming online. This brief will discuss the advantages and challenges of virtualization in an enterprise GIS environment.
