Cloud GIS Solution

The SuperMap Cloud GIS Solution includes a complete product system, which can meet the changing requirement of GIS, and is the best choice to build cloud GIS platform.

Cloud GIS Management Server platform (Supermap iManager) is the key to build cloud GIS platform. iManager is responsible for working with the cloud computing IaaS (infrastructure as a service) platform, providing the capability of deploying GIS environment, managing GIS environment, monitoring GIS environment and load balancing.

The SuperMap Cloud GIS Solution is composed of the following components.

IaaS Platform

For organizations that deploy cloud GIS platforms from scratch, SuperMap and the joint partners provide deployment value-added services for the cloud computing infrastructure platform. SuperMap assist users to deploy the FusionCompute, OpenStack, VMware vSphere and Docker cloud computing platforms.

Cloud GIS Management Server Platform

SuperMap iManager is responsible for working with the cloud computing IaaS (infrastructure as a service) platform, providing the capability of deploying GIS environment, managing GIS environment, monitoring GIS environment. Currenty supported cloud computing IaaS platforms include FusionCompute R5/R3, vSphere 6.0, OpenStack Juno/ Icehouse, Docker.

4 Carriages for Cloud GIS Platform Construction

SuperMap iManager, SuperMap iPortal, SuperMap iServer, and SuperMap iEdge are 4 carriages for constructing cloud GIS platform.

SuperMap iPortal is used to provide GIS resource center, as well as customizable GIS web portal, SuperMap iServer is used to provide high-performance GIS services; SuperMap iEdge is used to accelerate the entire SuperMap cloud GIS Center. Please refer to SuperMap Official Website for details.

GIS Mapping Software

SuperMap iDesktopX is a SuperMap mapping software for data processing, data warehousing, mapping, and mapping, providing the capabiity to publish data to the cloud GIS center with one key. Please refer to SuperMap Official Website for details.

GIS Terminal Software

SuperMap iClient and iMobile are two major GIS terminal software of SuperMap, providing two-dimensional, three-dimensional GIS SDK packages covering JavaScript, Flex, Silverlight, Android, IOS, Windows 8, which can help users quickly build web, and mobile GIS applications. Please refer to SuperMap Official Website for details.

Load Balancing Group

Load Balancing Group is composed of load balancer (supported by Nginx Software) and GIS environments. iManager can set the load balancer as the server for the load balancing group. When the load balancer receives the access request, the request is sent to the platform in the load balancing group according to the load balancing strategies including the weighted polling method, the IP hash method and the minimum number of connections, so that the requested platform can be served.
