Obava ohledně nastavení ArcGIS Desktop v cloudu

Question

<\/HEAD>Dobrý den,<\/P> <\/P> Chápu, že existuje mnoho výhod, když máte své ArcGIS Desktop nastavené v cloudu. Rád bych získal nějaké poznatky o tom, co ostatní ve své organizaci udělali ohledně svého nastavení ArcGIS Desktop. Důvod, proč se ptám, je ten, že máme speciální případ, kdy pracujeme na konkrétním projektu, kde nám jsou data často zasílána zvenčí během dne a denně. V současné době máme naše nastavení včetně našeho gis datového úložiště v cloudu. Čas potřebný k migraci dat do cloudu jen kvůli jejich zobrazení a zpracování a také potřeba je znovu zabalit a přesunout zpět ke klientovi mimo cloud může být velmi časově náročná. Na základě toho se ptám, zda vůbec dává smysl mít ArcGIS Desktop nastavený v cloudu. Jakýkoli názor na tuto záležitost bude velmi oceněn.<\/P> <\/P> Děkuji<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Hey Sam,

I'd like to recommend considering setting up a file share location on AWS or Azure.  I would suggest virtualization your desktop, like you stated, then load the data to an object storage account like I've linked to below.  Data can be moved to the container mentioned above and ingested from there directly to the virtual desktop, cutting down the number of back and forth. Also, both have Python Libraries that would allow you to automate much of this.

AWS File Storage - Cloud Object Storage | Store & Retrieve Data Anywhere | Amazon Simple Storage Service

Azure File Storage - File Storage | Microsoft Azure

AWS SDK for Python - AWS SDK for Python

Azure SDK for Python - GitHub - Azure/azure-sdk-for-python: Microsoft Azure SDK for Python

Thanks Jacob. I will definitely go through the documents you provided since we are indeed struggling to get arcgis pro virtualized (it is slow on the cloud at the moment).

With that being said, my question is more towards the validity of having arcgis desktop setup on the cloud if we are required to receive data from external source. This means we would constantly need to move data in and out throughout the day and on a daiily basis. This becomes very time consuming. I understand the benefit of having it on the cloud, but am wondering that maybe having a local setup is more appropriate for this particular use case as we avoid having to spend significant time on transferring data in and out of the cloud?

Thanks in advance for your input,

Unfortunately I regret to inform  you that I will not be able to attend the conference this year.

Hey Sam,

ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro can both be deployed on the cloud.  Many customers do this today with great success. Here's a couple things to review on the documentation side:

Cloud virtualization—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.x system requirements—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop Scroll down about half of the way and there's the recommendations for AWS and Azure listed.

ArcGIS Desktop Licensing in the Cloud Whitepaper:

I'd be happy to discuss further or answer any specific questions you have here, or next week at the UC if you are attending.
