ArcGIS Server 9.2 offers a scalable line of server product editions built on a common set of technology components that are distinguished by both functionality and capacity.
The functionality in ArcGIS Server is provided via three different editions:
Each of these three functional editions is provided at two separate levels, scaled according to capacity:
- ArcGIS Server Workgroup This runs on Windows only and includes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which is used as the DBMS for ArcSDE. This is limited to run on a single computer.
- ArcGIS Server Enterprise This provides the greatest capacity and can scale to databases of any size and number of users, running on computers of any size and configuration. It includes Enterprise ArcSDE technology, the traditional ArcSDE technology that runs on Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and Informix. This can run on one or more computers.
