Under the Hood

GeoSamba Universal employs a multi-tier service oriented architecture designed to provide clients with flexibility, efficiency and value for money.

Licensing is not restricted to hardware so there are no extra costs in distributing applications and services across servers to optimise solutions.

The core of the GeoSamba Universal architecture is the Application Web Service where administrators can configure security and access, wizard driven tasks to improve and standardise procedures, configure reports and templates and publish project information.

Driving this Application tier are dedicated Gateway Web services providing dedicated connections to a wide range of data sources, spatial and database. Stream in comprehensive satellite imagery and road networks from Virtual Earth to provide instant, cost effective context to your projects.

The presentation tier enables information to be presented in either a standard thin browser client or in custom developed clients using html, Java, Flex or Silverlight.

GeoSamba Universal administration is achieved without writing a single line of code. A comprehensive deployment tool enables efficient management of services and applications by providing an enterprise view of the system. Complex tasks can be designed and executed by linking over 60 task operators to define a process, enabling flexible user input and an increased span of control.

GeoSamba Universal offers a proven, robust, cost effective structure for collating and sharing spatial information, putting the power of the product in the hands of the people who know the business.
