System Architecture Design wiki self paced training course

This SADSwiki training course is shared to help Esri customers build and maintain successful GIS operations. The audience includes GIS managers, Project managers, GIS technical architects, IT administrators, business partners, systems integrators, system consultants, system administrators, solution architects, and software developers - there is a broad audience that can benefit from an understanding of enterprise system performance and scalability. The content is focused on system design fundamentals - the technology concepts that contribute to successful GIS operations.

This course covers GIS system architecture design strategies and infrastructure architecture patterns that support successful enterprise operations. Learn comprehensive guidelines for planning and selecting the system solution to meet your organization's needs. This course also covers performance validation and system capacity planning techniques for enterprise GIS deployments. The System Design Strategies wiki content provides online reference documentation for the course.

Complementary videos from the Planning for Building a GIS (P4BAGIS) video series are included with several of the course lessons.

Best practice: Students should use two computer displays when taking the course. One display for the video presentation and a second display to follow along with the reference documentation - URL links to the SDSwiki support documentation is provided with each lesson.

Message from Dave Peters

System Architecture Design Strategies Author and Instructor from February 1999 through March 2019

This SADSwiki training course will be my final contribution to the GIS community. I will retire from Esri in March 2019. I have enjoyed supporting Esri customers, partners, and distributors with system design reference documentation, consulting services, and training over the last 28 years. I appreciate the opportunities I have had to contribute and make a difference for our customers in supporting successful design and implementation of Esri GIS technology. I will never forget the connections and friendships developed over the years with our distributors, partners, and customers throughout the world. It has been an honor to serve and support a technology that is making a difference for people here in the United States and throughout the world.

Sincere best wishes,

Dave Peters
