Data provides the resources you need to make proper business decisions. The information products required to make business decisions determine the critical data resources that must be available for business operations. How you organize and maintain your data resources will contribute to system performance and user productivity.

GIS enterprise data architecture is no longer just a geodatabase, it often includes a combination of both the GIS feature data and the imagery data resources supporting common services managed by an integrated data center operations.

Exercise 5: Use the CPT to determine platform capacities and workflows]

Data source selection is a configuration parameter separate from the baseline workflow performance target selection, and the data source format performance adjustments are made for each workflow during final system configuration.

Click here for Exercise 5 where you will perform the following tasks:

• Configure the Platform Capacity Calculator with a web mapping workflow.
• Extend the Platform Capacity Calculator to evaluate six web mapping data sources.
• Configure the Platform Capacity Calculator for an ArcGIS image service workflow.
• Extend the Platform Capacity Calculator to evaluate seven imagery data sources.
• Configure the CPT Calculator with a custom ArcGIS image service workflow.
• Add the imagery workflow to the Project Workflows list on the Workflow tab.
