ArcGIS Data Appliance is an Esri content solution that allows you to quickly create, publish, and share maps and related content (for example, elevation data, places locator) with colleagues securely behind your firewall. It connects directly to your internal network and is preloaded with terabytes of detailed data from industry-leading data providers to enhance your ArcGIS and web apps. Your maps are powered by the back-end infrastructure of the data appliance and a server.
ArcGIS Data Appliance consists of hardware and data. It runs with ArcGIS Enterprise that helps make data appliance services available to others in your organization and, optionally, anyone with an internet connection. The data appliance hardware is preloaded with data to support configuration with the data product option you licensed from Esri.

- Basemap and reference services with cartographic mapping content to help you start building critical GIS applications right away
- Esri's Terrain service, providing a consolidated, multiresolution data set essential for a wide range of use cases, from scientific study to everyday applications including hazards mitigation, conservation, infrastructure, national security, and more
- Terrain 3D service, providing terrain content for visual context and analysis in ArcGIS Pro and Scene Viewer
- Profile geoprocessing services that allow you to create elevation profiles along any given polyline features on the surface of the earth using the world elevation data
