Who We Are



Many Large Systems Integrators

Who Is Using Skygone Cloud?

Many of the World’s Leading GIS Software Vendors DependSkygone As Their Sole Cloud Platform

Skygone leads the industry in Open Source GIS on the Cloud



Who Is Using Skygone Cloud?

We host mission-critical GIS applications for:◦ U.S. Federal Government

◦ Local Governments

◦ Global Response Organizations

Everyday GIS technology end-users◦ Most popular end-users applications on Skygone include:

1. Esri ArcGIS Server

2. OpenGeo Suite

3. ERDAS APOLLO

4. GeoServer

5. GeoNode SDI



What does Skygone do

Bridge the gap between infrastructure (Cloud) and GIS

Cloud GIS

Create a partnership with our customers to reduce theirIT and GIS support/maintenance costs



Data-centric, workflow-driven processes

But, the State’s will need to deliver, scale, and shareentire solutions…

Not purely a volume problem like some cloud apps◦ GIS not like Netflix/E-Bay/Twitter, where every virtual machine can be same

◦ Almost every application is dif erent in GIS, so there is no need for linear virtualmachine scaling

Why is “GIS on the Cloud” dif erent?



“Their” Cloud Approach: All about virtual machines

Single server instance templating and scaling

Scale

Delivering Platforms, Not About Delivering Solutions



“Our” Cloud Approach:Stop thinking about virtual machines… and start delivering

applications!

Template Multi-tier,Complex Applications as

a Single Package

Scale

Scale and DeployEntire Solutions



Service Deliver Platform (SDP)



Template Everything…True Turnkey Deployments

Virtual Servers

• Pre-networked and Secured

• Software Templated and Pre-installed

States’ GIS Application Deployments Requires:

Firewalls & Security Load Balancers

Switches

NAS devices

Network Devices

VPNs



Instantly and Repeatedly Deploy

Development and Test Environments

Demo Environments

Integration Environments

Trials or Proof of Concepts

…Using Best-Practices Every Time.



Hardware Independent…Your Deployment Goes Anywhere!

Choice of Deployment Strategies:• Fully Managed in Skygone Data Centers• Or, Inside State IT Facilities



Evaluate what the State GIOs do similarly with GIS.

How to achieve success

Develop a Cloud-based application catalog (AppStore) of most popular State GIS applications

Perform continuous improvement on these apps. Keep creating and improving “gold” images It’s ok to have dif erent versions for dif erent States / Depts

Perform a small, pilot projects in each department

Start small. Be successful. Grow.

A Private App Store for the States



Skygone has already created hundreds of application templates for many leading GIS softwareproducts.

More become available every week. Don’t see whatyou need?... Just ask!

◦ Make your Cloud vendor work with the GIS software vendorsto template their applications and provide an instantlydeployable, turnkey package to the States.

Require easy creation of new application templateswith no programming, API calls, or scripting needed.

Make your Cloud provider do the heavy-lifting for you



Reduced workload on IT staf

, Infrastructure and GIS. Supported at Infrastructure level and also GIS application level.

You get a solution partner, not just Cloud platform…

How Does This Help The States?



We already do it and we have common interests◦ Already provide IT, Cloud, GIS application templates, and GIS

architecture support to 6 continents.

We want States’ GIS staf s to be able to perform

their geo-jobs, not have to act as IT administrators

Why? The more geo-centric your staf is the betterthe States will operate… benefits all of us

How Can We Of er This Level Of Support?

Other Benefits to Using the Cloud for GIS



Skygone is GIS software vendor-neutral

We enable and encourage our customers toexplore, deploy and try all options available

The States can use this theory to optimizetheir GIS operating costs over a period of time. No need for radical migrations

Using the Cloud to Optimize GISLicensing Costs

h f l d



Store your data in one repository…

Deploy and try dif erent applications, frommany dif erent vendors.

All about choice andoptimizing costs. Saveon software licensing,more cash elsewherefor projects, data, etc.

The True Power of Cloud…An Application Deployment Engine



Not a 1 to 1 relationship with currenthardware infrastructure.

You’ll get more done with less… why?

If implemented properly the cloud willimprove current:

• GIS Data Workflows

• Governance, QA, and Approvals

•

Data and Application Dissemination and Sharing

Won’t Need As Much Cloud As You Think



Don’t play the “pricing break” game. Flat, competitive pricing removes complexity.

Consider structuring the contract like an EsriELA, where you have a set fee for a quota of

usage◦ That quota is monitored and re-evaluated every 3 months, 6

months, 1 year, etc.

◦ New volume pricing is set based on that new usage.

Allows direct billing to each State,Department, Organization, Etc.

Aggregate PricingYes, but…



Section of State-level Cloud Grids Then have a Shared-cost Cloud Grid

◦ Allows States to “bucket” money while staying flexible

Choose a Cloud vendor that understands GIS and the need toshare, yet still secure information

Choose a Cloud vendor that helps you achieve a solution; not just of ers a platform

Realize it takes time to perfect…◦ Strive for continuous improvement, not instant success

◦ Must identify internal “cloud evangelist/expert”; at least one per State GIO

And last, but certainly not least…

Call me anytime!We do this everyday, it’s our life and we love it!
