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, which helps make data appliance services available to others in your organization and, optionally, anyone with an internet connection. The data appliance hardware is a set of hard drives preloaded with data to support configuration with the data product option you licensed from Esri.
This version of ArcGIS Data Appliance includes the following:
- Raster 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 dataset essential for a wide range of use cases, from scientific study to everyday applications including hazard mitigation, conservation, infrastructure, national security, and more.*
- Terrain 3D service, providing terrain content for visual context and analysis in ArcGIS Pro and Scene Viewer.
- Elevation analysis services that allow you to perform raster analysis on world elevation data. Use the Profile geoprocessing service tool to create elevation profiles along any given polyline features. Use the Viewshed geoprocessing service tool to create viewsheds for any given observation point features anywhere on the surface of the earth. Use the Summarize Elevation geoprocessing tool to calculate summary statistics for features you provide based on the elevation in the Terrain data.*
*Not included with World Basic (Collection 1).
