Arc2Earth Cloud - Why?
Single User or Small Groups
No budget for web gis but still need to interact with community
Get live data into ArcGIS.com!
Inexpensive
True utility billing, no cost for idle time
Scalable
Google AppEngine
From 0 to 400 requests/second with zero config
Easy
Manage directly from ArcMap or browser
No Servers or IT issues
ArcMap, A2E and an internet connection

Arc2Earth Cloud – Why Not?
No dynamic map drawing
Tile caches only
No geoprocessing
Simple spatial operations only
No custom server extensions
Use client side code instead
Use ArcGIS Server for this!
And use an A2E Cloud to frontend the firewalled AGS master
Sync updates between them.
Use A2E as an inexpensive, auto-scalable and searchable cache for public users

Arc2Earth Cloud Basics
Very Lightweight
Nothing in memory
Request handlers come and go quickly
Tilesets
Create map caches from your MXDs
Datasources
Vector data (points, lines, polygons)
Search, edit, history and synchronize
Spatial indexing optimized for AppEngine
Maps
Combine and style Tilesets and Datasources
Appear as AGS MapServers and FeatureServers

Publish to ArcGIS.com – Step 1
Create Tilesets from your MXDs
Copy directly to Cloud during export
Can be used in ArcGIS.com, Google Maps, Bing etc

Upload Datasources
Layers that can be searched and clicked on
Enable editing for VGI data, synced back to ArcMap

Create Map and Save to ArcGIS.com
Combine one Tileset and multiple Datasources
Set labels, popup and feature templates for each DS
Use ArcGIS.com account info to save online

Scale Quickly
Google AppEngine is magic!
Auto scales based on current request load
You do nothing
A2E Cloud – 0 to 400 rps in 1.5 hours (poly/poly intersection)
