ArcGIS Enterprise Functionality Matrix

ArcGIS Enterprise is the foundational system for GIS, mapping
and visualization, analytics, and Esri’s suite of applications.
Running in customers’ own infrastructure, it is software that
can be used in the cloud and on-premises.

ArcGIS Enterprise includes several types of servers such as

ArcGIS GIS Server, ArcGIS Image Server, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server,
ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server, and ArcGIS Notebook Server;
providing comprehensive functionality for mapping, image
exploitation, real-time data, big data analytics, and data science. It
also powers the full suite of applications for field data collection,
analytics, operational overviews, and workforce tracking.

This functionality matrix features the vast and diverse

capabilities supported by the various servers so you can
identify which best fit your needs.

You can manage, map, analyze, and share GIS data with
ArcGIS Enterprise to power your data-driven decisions. ArcGIS
Enterprise comes with enterprise-ready features, including full data
management control that empowers you to visualize your data
spatially, perform analysis in your web browser to
discover patterns and trends, and share and collaborate inside
and outside your organization.

With ArcGIS Enterprise, you have complete control over your

deployment, whether on physical or virtualized machines, or cloud 02
infrastructure. Esri provides tools to get you started including
wizard-like builders for all-in-one deployments, Chef and 03
PowerShell DSC scripts to automate custom deployments, and
machine images to jump-start cloud deployments on Amazon Web 04
Services and Microsoft Azure.

Deploying You can deploy ArcGIS Enterprise manually—installing and configuring each component
in sequence, or you can automate the deployment process by using one of the ArcGIS
ArcGIS Enterprise deployment automation tools. Before deciding on a deployment automation
tool, you should have planned the type of deployment that you will need (for example,
Enterprise single-machine, highly available) and be aware of any other system or architectural
specifications your organization has outlined (for example, you must deploy using
Windows, Linux, in a cloud environment).

Licensing ArcGIS ENTERPRISE STANDARD AND ADVANCED

You can license ArcGIS Enterprise in two editions, offered at two different capacity
levels. The editions are Standard and Advanced, and the levels are ArcGIS Enterprise
and ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup. Collectively, we refer to ArcGIS Enterprise to mean
any edition or level when there isn’t a need to distinguish.

ArcGIS ENTERPRISE WORKGROUP LEVEL

ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup is a lower capacity level of ArcGIS Enterprise. It offers

all the same functionality as ArcGIS Enterprise but is designed for use in smaller teams
and organizations. The Workgroup level has the following differences:

• There is a limit of 10 simultaneous desktop connections to workgroup

geodatabases. Workgroup geodatabases are only supported on Microsoft SQL
Server Express and have a maximum size of 10 GB.
• The Workgroup level is only licensed for use with file-based data sources (e.g., file
geodatabases) and workgroup geodatabases. It is not licensed for use with
enterprise geodatabases.
• The base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment must be deployed all-in-one on a single
machine with up to four cores.
• Each server role has a four-core maximum. The additional roles can be deployed on
machines that are separate from the base deployment. The spatiotemporal big data store
from ArcGIS Data Store may be configured on a single, separate four-core machine.

For more information and to determine if ArcGIS Enterprise Workgroup is a good fit for
your organization, contact your local Esri representative.

OTHER SERVER LICENSING

ArcGIS GIS Server Basic is a limited-functionality GIS server that primarily provides
enterprise geodatabase functionality. ArcGIS GIS Server Basic cannot be federated
as part of an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and does not enable any Web GIS
access for functionality.
