ERDASAPOLLODo you have large volumes of data, a geographically- distributed user base and rapidly changing data holdings? Do you need a single, integrated enterprise-class, spatial data infrastructure? If you are delivering imagery, is the performance fast enough for you?

ERDAS APOLLO is a comprehensive data management, analysis and

delivery system. It enables an organization to organize and deliver

massive volumes of both file-based and web-enabled data, including

imagery, feature data, terrain and virtually any digital object in the

enterprise. ERDAS APOLLO consistently delivers geospatial data

faster and with less hardware than competing server-based products.

An interoperable OGC/ISO-based application that implements an

out-of-the-box service-oriented architecture (SOA), ERDAS APOLLO

can be customized and extended to satisfy both your geospatial and

business process requirements.

ERDAS APOLLO Essential - SDI provides a Data Manager RCP client to remotely setup and manage your OGC web services and custom catalog objects..

ON-DEMAND GEOPROCESSING ERDAS APOLLO contains the most interoperable

geoprocessing services in the industry. Users can

run an entire model (such as change detection),

completely contained within a single Web

Processing Service (WPS). The complexity of the

algorithm stored under a single process is unique,

enabling an end-user to create on-demand line

of sight, elevation change, image change

detection and more. Spatial models created

in ERDAS IMAGINE® are published to ERDAS

APOLLO and then delivered over the internet.

FASTEST IMAGE DELIVERY POSSIBLEERDAS APOLLO includes the fastest image

delivery system on the market, with the high-

performance streaming imagery protocol ECWP.

ECWP allows you to serve over 5,000 clients with

just one server! If you prefer to distribute your

data in a “tiled” fashion, you can use “Optimized

Tile Delivery”. In comparison benchmarks,

ERDAS APOLLO consistently delivers more

data, quicker, using less hardware than other

image serving products. ERDAS APOLLO

supports common industry standards for image

deployment, including ESRI’s ArcIMS, ArcXML

and OpenGIS™ Web Map service specifications.

COMPLETELY INTEROPERABLEERDAS APOLLO embraces OGC services, making

them a native implementation. When we say we

support the specification, we support the entire

standard. It is the primary use case for accessing

data, not the secondary. ERDAS APOLLO

implements comprehensive Web Mapping Service

(WMS), Web Coverage Service (WCS), Catalog

Service for the Web (CS-W), Web Feature

Service (WFS), Web Map Context (WMC), Web

Processing Service (WPS) and ISO 19115/19139

metadata standards.

SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATES ERDAS APOLLO seamlessly integrates with

GIS environments. In addition, ERDAS APOLLO

leverages existing business systems, such as

the Oracle database for persisting intelligent

metadata and application specific information.

Proven IT standards such as JavaEE and REST

integrate ERDAS APOLLO into existing business

environments, also meeting an organization’s

security requirements. In ERDAS APOLLO,

almost any kind of data input is supported

(including ArcSDE & Oracle). Legacy and third-

party data may also be used together in a single

environment. ERDAS APOLLO simplifies the

complexity of geospatial data, easily managing

and distributing this information to a large

audience. Many software applications support

ECWP, our high-speed streaming imagery

protocol, including MapInfo and Bentley

Microstation. Where an application does not

support ECWP “out-of-the-box,” we provide free

plug-ins. For example, we have very popular free

plug-ins for ArcGIS® and AutoCAD®.

SECURELY COLLABORATE AND SHARE DATAThe permission-based data distribution system

in ERDAS APOLLO enables users to easily

make their geospatial data available to others

while retaining digital ownership rights. ERDAS

APOLLO is both a static data management

solution and a means to securely share desktop

datasets that are routinely modified or created.

Users in a network can create sharable data and

content mashups, all within a 3D virtual globe.

FLEXIBLE OFFERING Available in three product tiers, ERDAS APOLLO

suits a wide spectrum of organizations –

from those that simply need a very low-cost,

remarkably fast image server to those requiring

a comprehensive data management system.

All three tiers offer remarkably fast performance,

even when handling massive data archives and

many users.

Serving a 5TB image over the internet is not a problem for ERDAS APOLLO-Image Web Server.

Vectors are served with lightning speed with ERDAS APOLLO-Image Web Server.

ERDAS APOLLO Essentials—SDIFor organizations that require interoperable

cataloging and delivery of imagery, terrain and

vector data through OGC Web Services to any

client application, ERDAS APOLLO Essentials—

SDI is appropriate. This offering provides an

entry-level, best-of-breed enterprise solution

to quickly implement an OGC standard Spatial

Data Infrastructure meeting cataloging (CS-W)

and dissemination (WFS, WCS, WMS,

WMC) requirements.

ERDAS APOLLO Essentials—Image Web ServerGovernment organizations with geospatial data

that needs to be shared via a public access

website can easily do this with ERDAS APOLLO

Essentials—Image Web Server. This unique,

low-cost product provides high-speed access

to large volumes of imagery on a minimum

hardware set. Image Web Server requires very

little server administration, leveraging the

unmatched power of ECWP and Optimized

Tile Delivery to ensure images are delivered

very quickly.

ERDAS APOLLO AdvantageOrganizations that need to manage massive

amounts of geospatial data need ERDAS APOLLO

Advantage. The data may be redundant and

distributed across multiple departments or offices.

Often, this data needs to be rapidly delivered to

users based on their role and permissions in

the enterprise.

APOLLO Professional supports server-side geoprocessing. Previously published and cataloged spatial models are accessible and executable by users on demand from 2D and 3D clients.

The APOLLO Web Client allows users to search, browse, discover, style, visualize and download imagery and vector data. Imagery geoprocessing and vector data editing are also available to complete these workflows.

Organizations may be spending a lot of money

on hardware, but users still cannot find what

they need. Organizations that benefit from

ERDAS APOLLO Advantage include national

mapping agencies and large federal organizations,

police forces, Defense, DOT/infrastructure,

surveillance, disaster/emergency response

and homeland security.

ERDAS APOLLO Advantage can deliver the raw

data as well as a single, homogenous dataset

without creating multiple service layers (supporting

the same data types as ERDAS IMAGINE®).

ERDAS APOLLO Advantage provides automated

data and metadata harvesting, crawling, indexing

and schedulers, with a secured hierarchical data

model. ERDAS APOLLO Advantage also includes

desktop data sharing and collaboration, allowing

users to publish their data, specifying permissions.

Using a 3D virtual globe, users create sharable

data and content mashups with each other. Users

can also search, discover and visualize data in

a variety of applications.

ERDAS APOLLO PROfESSIOnALFor users that need to manage data, as well as

perform on-demand spatial analysis to extract

information, ERDAS APOLLO Professional is

appropriate. ERDAS APOLLO Professional offers

a powerful geoprocessing (WPS) component,

unrivaled in complex algorithms. ERDAS APOLLO

Professional enables server-side geoprocessing

of geospatial data contained within a Spatial

Data Infrastructure (SDI). This end-to-end

workflow is designed so that end-users executing

geoprocesses may do so with very little

domain knowledge.

The workflow begins with ERDAS IMAGINE,

which provides a rich environment for creating

new and complex spatial models. Using ERDAS

IMAGINE, geospatial analysts create custom

models and publish them to the APOLLO catalog.

Security credentials are managed by APOLLO

administrators who make cataloged spatial

models accessible to users per role.

Published and cataloged spatial models are then

accessible and executable by consumer users,

on demand, from 2D and 3D clients like the

ERDAS APOLLO Web Client, and the ERDAS

TITAN Viewer 3D virtual globe. In this scenario

users are working from one collective data pool,

extending the utilization of geospatial information

to others in an organization.
