IBM and ESRI are leading the development of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) solutions away from a specialized departmental technology into a more comprehensive enterprise-wide platform. Enterprise GIS now contains all the reliability, manageability, and performance requirements demanded by Enterprise Information Technology solutions. Customer demand encouraged IBM and ESRI to expand GIS enterprise solutions to use mainframe database repositories for spatial information and analysis. Therefore, IBM undertook a study at the IBM eServer zSeries Benchmark Center in Poughkeepsie, NY to determine how to utilize the zSeries platform in the ESRI GIS solution.
