FGDB in Azure Enterprise Deployment

MuhammadNaufalIhsan — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 03:40:38 GMT

Hello guys,

I have a client who publish services from file geodatabase in a registered sharing folder. Currently, they want to migrate the enterprise deployment to Microsoft Azure (and for some reasons they still want to keep their data in the file geodatabase).

Any recommendation what azure product we need to use as the replacement for the sharing folder? Should we use a VM as the sharing folder or can we use Azure NetApp Files?

Regards,
Naufal

Did you talk with the client and checked if using a hosted feature service with "update from FGDB" and "export as FGDB" from the Portal Item could be an option?

We're currently moving from Azure Files to Azure NetApp Files for performance considerations. Hope this helps!
