Cloud geodatabase solutions

Cloud storage of geospatial data has become a common part of many GIS architectures. Whether it is used as a backup to an on-premises solution, replaces an on-premises solution, or is combined with a local solution to provide internet support for an intranet-based system, the cloud is a big part of the future of GIS.

With ArcGIS Online, CARTO, MapBox, and now MapD, the options for a cloud data store that support geospatial data are more numerous than ever. Each offers a visualization component and a different type of data storage and each will integrate with your data and software in different ways.

ArcGIS Online, while also offering stand-alone options (that is, direct data upload), integrates with ArcGIS Enterprise (formerly ArcGIS Server) to consume enterprise REpresentational State Transfer (REST) web services that are stored on a local geodatabase. ArcGIS Online is built on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and all of the server architecture is hidden from...
