Esri Managed Cloud Services

Managed Cloud Services | Common Business Drivers

Outsource Operations

- Don’t have the skills?

- Want to focus your resources elsewhere?

- Does your technology strategy dictate a “cloud first” roadmap?

Evaluate Capabilities

- Want to evaluate either the capabilities of the cloud technology or software?

Managed Cloud Services makes it possible for all organizations to leverage the cloud & unlock key

resources to use the ArcGIS platform

High Impact Changes

- Significant increase in data/services

- Above what was initially scoped for the system

- Schema-level changes

- New application

- New COTS capability

- New ETL

• Change Management

- Customer is allocated a specific number of changes a year

- Quarterly

- Monthly

- Low impact changes are included as part of these annual changes

- High impact changes must be evaluated on a case by case basis

Availability

• Availability is usually expressed as a percentage of uptime in a given time span

(typically 1 month) and calculated as follows:

Availability (%) = (Total time – Downtime) / Total Time *100%

• ArcGIS Monitor defines downtime based on a critical alert duration.

Service Level Agreement (SLA)Web GIS example

• User load

- 50,000 transactions per hour

- with average 0.5 CPU seconds or

- approximately 150 Concurrent Users with 10 seconds think time

• Availability

- target 95% per month

Severity Level Definition Critical Components

Severity 1

•

•

At least one of the critical

components of the system is

down or inaccessible. There

is no workaround

•

•

•

Portal for ArcGIS Website

ArcGIS Datastore Application

Severity 2

• Critical components are

available, however there may be

intermittent or continuous

performance degradation or

other issues.
