Server, Licensing, and Staff Considerations Sample Clauses

Server, Licensing, and Staff Considerations. The final set of factors to consider, a catchall grouping to some extent, will help distinguish between the three SOA-based WebGIS solutions: COTS, OSS, and paid services (e.g., Amazon EC2). The first of these is scalability. In making your decision about desktop v. web GIS, if use fluctuates dramatically in a known and well-defined pattern, then cost savings may be available through choosing a more scalable, SOA-based option. The advantage of OSS WebGIS is that there is no licensing cost. Once the investment has been made in development and configuration, it is relatively inexpensive to ramp up for periods of high intensity use. Other advantages of OSS for WebGIS are that 1) they are lightweight relative to COTS offerings, with a small server footprint, and 2) many can constitute a part of a Native UNIX or Linux service or application solution. Note that OSS solutions also have the reputation of being faster than their COTS counterparts, though today that difference appears to be much smaller than in past years. Furthermore, in addition to carrying a reputation as resource consumers, COTS solutions require considerable management for licensing, setup, and upkeep, which can be true for OSS for WebGIS, too. This is, of course, where the effectiveness of contracted SOA-based GIS services shines: organizations in which there is a limited sys admin staff or in-house expertise for managing SOA-based COTS or OSS solutions. In any case, the decision- making process should include an evaluation of the OSS server technologies in light of their ability to integrate with the whole GIS platform and IT infrastructure. Enterprise-level licensing agreements (ELA) are the final factor to consider. If your organization already has paid for an ELA for a COTS suite, then there is no incremental licensing expense in deploying additional servers, and it may seem that the only logical choice is to leverage that investment, and to encourage others to take the same path. However, this should not preclude pilots or supporting the work of others using OSS deployments. As OSS WebGIS solutions become more and more streamlined to deploy and use, this will only provide healthy competition to COTS vendors, likely driving pricing down.
