The New Light Technologies, Inc. (NLT) Cloud & Managed Service Offering (MSO) Team has developed automated deployment patterns for the Esri ArcGIS Server Enterprise 10.7 platform. The team's solution includes deployment of ArcGIS for Server, Portal for ArcGIS, GeoEvent Server, Relational Datastore, SpatioTemporal Datastore, and Image Server. It has been implemented in AWS for a large federal organization following industry best practices for scalability, high availability, and security, including configuration of secure servers and an application load balancer over HTTPS.
NLT's Managed Service Offering now includes a hosted Enterprise Esri Server solution capability, allowing customers to quickly deploy an optimized Esri Server stack hosted on AWS, Azure, or other cloud platforms. These environment builds follow industry best design patterns for security and management. With Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), all environments are deployed programmatically via HashiCorp Terraform and monitored for compliance with leading cloud security solutions. NLT's Everything-as-Code (EaC) DevSecOps model incorporates the advantages of IaC by reducing cost, increasing speed, and minimizing the security risks of a typical DevOps approach.
"This build takes minutes to complete and incorporates all required technical configuration details needed to run securely in a public or private cloud environment," said NLT's lead Cloud Architect.
It has traditionally been a challenge for organizations to easily procure, deploy, and maintain enterprise geospatial infrastructures to meet changing functional, security, and business requirements. Our MSO offering provides an attractive, secure, and cost-effective way for customers to quickly realize the growing benefits of the cloud.
NLT provides comprehensive cloud hosting and managed services — from planning, migration, and deployment to ongoing management and optimization. We support and manage the world's leading cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Google, saving you the challenge and complexity of doing it yourself. The NLT team has over 17 years of experience with Esri technologies, 15 of those as a business partner.
