Esri adds Windows and Linux support for ArcGIS Enterprise deployments
Esri has released ArcGIS Velocity for general availability in ArcGIS Enterprise, extending the product from ArcGIS Online to self-hosted deployments on Windows and Linux.
The release lets organisations run ArcGIS Velocity in secure on-premises and private cloud environments.
ArcGIS Velocity delivers real-time analytics on streaming, Internet of Things, sensor and asset data. It supports teams that need live maps, alerts and automated actions inside ArcGIS Enterprise.
According to Esri, the Enterprise launch unifies real-time workflows across ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. Users can now run the same core capability in software as a service and self-hosted setups.
The update targets sectors including public safety, transportation and logistics. Esri also pointed to government and business users that rely on firewall protection and internal security compliance.
ArcGIS Velocity can track public events, supply chains and infrastructure. As a result, teams can spot threats faster and respond while events are still unfolding.
Users can configure analytics to enrich incoming data with extra context. That helps answer location-based questions in real time.
Esri said ArcGIS Velocity connects to more than 20 ready-to-use feeds. Named providers include Dataminr, Samsara, FlightAware, Baron Weather and CompassCom.
The software also supports major common web messaging protocols and API formats. Because of that, organisations can pull live data from a wider range of external systems into ArcGIS Enterprise.
Dataminr and 20-plus live feeds
Hayley Miller, an Esri product manager, said organisations use ArcGIS Velocity to turn real-time data into operational awareness and action.
Miller linked the ArcGIS Enterprise release to secure self-hosted deployments, living digital twins and mission-critical monitoring. She said the software can help teams respond faster when conditions change by the second.
ArcGIS Velocity can also react to predefined triggers. Following those triggers, it can send alerts or start downstream actions automatically, which cuts the time from observation to decision-making.
Dataminr tied the release to breaking-event response. Fraser Charles, Dataminr senior director of partner ecosystems, said the gap between a threat emerging and a response being mobilised is measured in seconds.
Charles said Dataminr provides early intelligence on breaking events. He added that ArcGIS Velocity in ArcGIS Enterprise can help teams discover, decide and act before a situation escalates.
Esri described the launch as an expansion of cloud-native support for enterprise customers. Those customers include organisations that need internal security controls rather than a SaaS-only option.
With general availability now in place, ArcGIS Velocity spans both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. That gives Esri customers a choice between managed cloud delivery and deployment inside their own infrastructure.
