Using Wiki.GIS.com to Tell Technology Stories

Wiki.GIS.com is a dedicated repository for GIS information on the web. Wiki.GIS.com is open to public contributions, as long as the information posted on it is conceptual in nature and is related to GIS. (See terms of use for more information.)

An essential component of any GIS environment is hardware, including servers and system components, network components, storage, and so forth. Esri’s System Design Strategies (SDS) documentation includes the best practices for hardware configurations and, in some cases, refers to specific products and vendors. This presents an opportunity for the providers of related technology solutions to share information about technical specifications and use cases for their technology on Wiki.GIS.com. When this kind of information is shared on Wiki.GIS.com it benefits everyone.
 * GIS users benefit by having access to both the SDS documentation and the latest information on the system components in the same place.
 * Technology solutions partners benefit by gaining access to a broad new audience and through having a close association with the SDS documentation.
 * The SDS documentation is enhanced by referencing specifications and use cases, which provides more robust and useful information on the same shared platform.
