Performance and Optimization

May 5th, 2009 by Stephanie Blazey

Having just given a presentation on Effective Web Based Cartography and Representation at our Geocortex User Conference, it became evident that people are very interested in the performance/optimization side of things.

ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 includes some great new features for this, and ESRI Canada is hosting some related webinars:

• Performance and Optimization Techniques for ArcGIS Server, May 14, 2009 and June 4, 2009
• High-performance Dynamic Map Publishing with ArcGIS Server 9.3.1, May 19, 2009

Also, Geocortex Optimizer is a product we have developed that provides a number of related and complementary features that help you ensure best possible performance (and monitor usage over time to create web-mapping applications better tuned to your users’ requirements).

Anyway, if you weren’t at the Geocortex User Conference and are interested in taking in my Effective Web Based Cartography and Representation presentation, you can catch the next webinar version on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009. I will be adding more content on the topic of initial design to maximize performance. Registration is here.

Spot the Geography Geek

July 21st, 2008 by Steven Myhill-Jones

optimizer_pop_extentsEvery time I’m being briefed on the latest report designs for Geocortex Optimizer, I can’t help but get a little thrill when I see a Popular Extents map amongst all the important tables, graphs, and charts.

We’ve mostly (and I think rightly) invested in aspects of the product that extract and present all kinds of metrics relevant to the ArcGIS Server stack. As CEO, I know this should get me most excited because these types of metrics represent the core value prop of the product. But as a geography geek, if you hooked me up to machines that measure my physiological level of interest, I’d undoubtedly get most excited when I see the map.

Geocortex Optimizer for ArcGIS Server

May 27th, 2008 by David Stevenson

optimizerThough we announced it last month at our user conference, I want to post briefly about Geocortex Optimizer, our new product for ArcGIS Server we’re timing for release around the ESRI International User Conference in San Diego this year.

Geocortex Optimizer is comprised of four distinct modules (think our ArcIMS-generation Geocortex Statistics and Geocortex Uptime products rolled into one, plus more) that will maximize the value and effectiveness of an investment in ESRI’s next-generation web-based GIS foundation. Initial versions will focus on maximizing ArcGIS Server performance and distributed system performance monitoring, with emphasis shifting to ease-of-management and the ROI calculation side of things.

This has been a challenging and exciting project that is really taking shape and that I think is going to appeal to single server organizations, large enterprises, and everyone in between. Now that the original design is coming to life and the team has some great momentum, we’re getting really excited about this product.

Notwithstanding any unforeseen technical hurdles in the next couple iterations, we should be announcing a Beta program fairly soon. Let us know if you’re interested in participating.
