Organizing Servers By Function

Separation of workloads Arc. GIS Server

Separation of workloads Load Balancer Arc. GIS Server Dynamic Map Site Tiles Site Analysis Site

High performance caching Frequently cook large volumes of cache as fast as possible

Workload separation – dedicate server for caching A: 6080 Arc. GIS Server Directories & Config Store B: 6080 Arc. GIS Server ü ü ü C: 6080 Arc. GIS Server No web adaptor Built-in accounts High performance NAS Data copied locally to each node Shutdown all non-essential services Set caching service MIN/MAX to high value

Reference Implementations Success! Multi-node Web. GIS Federation Portal with hosting server Standalone portal Multi-node server with workload separation All in a box server ü Isolation ü Ease of management ü Better resource utilization

Esri releases Portal for Arc. GIS The Web. GIS Pattern

Web. GIS for everyone ü Powerful layer of Desktop Web Device abstractions on top of GIS ü Opens the platform to a large class of applications from desktop to device ü Single sign-on access to Portal GIS assets ü Existing GIS infrastructure can be plugged in Hosting Server Federated Servers

Web. GIS Components Load Balancers Desktop Web Device Portal for Arc. GIS Server Portal Arc. GIS Data Store (Managed DB) Databases (Registered DB) Content Hosting Server Federated Servers

Standalone portal Registering GIS services as items in portal Arc. GIS Server Web Adaptor Portal for Arc. GIS Server Content Server Directories & Config Store ü Standalone Portal for Arc. GIS allows for making of web maps ü GIS services become discoverable ü No change in server o No single sign-on o Portal is not highly available

Reference Implementations Success! Multi-node Web. GIS Federation Portal with hosted server Standalone portal Multi-node server with workload separation All in a box server ü Search, find, use ü Webmap and apps q No self-service mapping

Need for self-service mapping Visualize spatial qualities of business data

Portal for Arc. GIS with hosting server Arc. GIS Server Web Adaptor Portal for Arc. GIS Hosting Arc. GIS Server Arc. GIS Data Store ü Analysts can use portal’s GIS capabilities to map business data ü Mission critical GIS services registered as items in portal for find and use o Portal with hosting server is not highly available Arc. GIS Server Directories & Config Store

Reference Implementations Success! Multi-node Web. GIS Federation Portal with hosting server Standalone portal Multi-node server with workload separation All in a box server ü Search, find, use ü Webmap and apps ü Self-service mapping

Single sign-on Users don’t want to login twice to access Spatial content

Federation Single sign-on for existing GIS servers ü GIS servers are connected Desktop Web Device to portal’s identity store ü Single sign-on for services on a hosting or federated servers ü Identity flows through the Portal system ü Ownership and group- based access control o Need portal accounts for accessing services o GIS services permissions are changed to portal access control Hosting Server Federated Servers Standalone Servers

Single sign-on with federation Federated Arc. GIS Server Web Adaptor SAML Web Adaptor Portal for Arc. GIS Hosting Arc. GIS Server Federation Arc. GIS Data Store ü Designed for collaboration ü Search, Find, Use ü SAML can support mix of identity providers ü IWA and PKI also available Arc. GIS Server Directories & Config Store

Reference Implementations Success! Multi-node Web. GIS Federation Portal with hosting server Standalone portal Multi-node server with workload separation All in a box server ü Single sign-on for all web accessible GIS assets ü Single identity space

Hosting server capacity reached! More hardware needed

Parting thoughts… • Deployment patterns are a spectrum - • Full HA with geographic redundancy is not always required Plan your deployment - Development, staging and production • Know your availability and recovery needs • Isolate and manage security - • Administrators, publishers, users and custom roles Backup often
