ArcGIS Data Appliance Now Provides Geocoding and Routing Capabilities

                                                         Securely Access Ready-to-Use Map and Task Services

Redlands, California—July 8, 2009—The latest release of ArcGIS Data Appliance, a preconfigured network storage device loaded with terabytes of ready-to-use data, now provides geocoding and routing functionality along with expanded imagery and street data.

ArcGIS Data Appliance users can now securely access geocoding and routing functionality for the United States, Canada, and Europe. The geocoding options enable users to find and display addresses on a map through single address, reverse, or batch geocoding. The routing options allow users to generate routes between two or more points and display the routes on maps along with the associated driving directions.

The precached and prerendered basemap data offerings for ArcGIS Data Appliance have been expanded with the following new options: World Imagery, World IKONOS Cities Imagery, and European Street Map. Users can now access detailed satellite imagery for the world including 15-meter resolution for the entire world and 1–2 meter resolution imagery mosaic for the contiguous United States. Also, 1-meter resolution imagery for more than 700 major metropolitan areas around the world is available. The street data now includes a multiscale street map for Europe with highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, administrative boundaries, cities, and landmarks overlaid on shaded relief imagery for added context.

ArcGIS Data Appliance provides rich, detailed data, including imagery, street maps, topographic maps, shaded relief, elevation data, and reference layers that fit easily into an existing IT infrastructure to enhance ArcGIS Server applications and services.

"ArcGIS Data Appliance allows organizations to host much of the same maps and tasks available through ArcGIS Online on their own secure server behind their firewall," said Christophe Charpentier, ArcGIS content product manager, ESRI. "The ready-to-use content is optimized for high performance with ArcGIS Server, enabling users to publish large sets of varied data quickly and easily."

A complete server bundle is available for organizations that do not have ArcGIS Server. ArcGIS Data Appliance (Server Bundle) includes applicable ArcGIS Server software, choice of data collections and task services, and hardware.
