Cloud computing accelerates GIS universality

GIS is the abbreviation of geographic Information system. The Geographic Information system was originally in the computer soft, with the support of hardware, the human-machine interactive information system, which is used in land development, environmental protection, resource survey, urban management and so on, is widely used in the field of information and environment parameters according to spatial distribution or geographical coordinates, input, processing, storage and output in a certain format and classification code. Disaster monitoring, population control, transportation and other fields. With the economic and social construction and the rapid development of computer network technology, its application has expanded and permeated all levels of social life. The universality of GIS is profoundly changing the way of human travel and understanding of space, making life better.

"This is a record of the Wuhan city monitoring points of rainfall data in the Excel table, I now only need to import these data directly into the system, the system can automatically set up an intuitive data model on the map, and to share with other relevant departments." In the past, achieving this goal was a rather complicated process. "October 23, at the Wuhan Forum on Intelligent Cities and emerging geographical capabilities, the world's largest geographic information system (GIS) technology provider-Ishiri (China) Information Technology Co., Ltd. to show you the latest products ArcGIS10.1 and ArcGIS Online has aroused the high level of concern of the participants.

This is called the world's first landing cloud GIS products, with the cloud, mobile, intelligent, personalized and simple five characteristics, can be based on cloud computing model to achieve anytime and anywhere to obtain and share spatial information, so that anyone can enjoy intelligent map services anywhere. "GIS ushered in an important turning point, GIS universality is the inevitable trend of the development of this industry." "Ishiri (China) Information Technology Co., Ltd. Central China general manager Peng Xin told reporters. Universal, is universally adaptable, universally applicable meaning, it contains the ubiquitous and transparent two characteristics, just summed up the current development trend of GIS. First, from a hardware standpoint, from the previous mainframe, to the PC, to a variety of pad, in the past we can only operate in the computer room, the office of the GIS system, now with portable notebooks, tablets, and even smart phones can be very convenient to use; Secondly, GIS software from the past installed in the host, server "Specialized" complex system, gradually developed through the browser, mobile device terminals can be easily used in the Web environment, and the rise of cloud computing model, even if we do not have to install GIS software on terminal equipment, we can enjoy space information services; GIS also experienced from laboratory products to the Government, enterprises and institutions to serve, and then to the current use of these stages for the professionals. With the ever-simplifying hardware facilities and the growing demand for geographic information, GIS is becoming more widely and deeply integrated into all aspects of public life. The ability to provide cloud GIS solutions, strong processing and analysis modeling capabilities, and easier operation of ArcGIS10.1 and ArcGIS Online, making GIS a more smooth road to people's lives.
