A Highly Flexible Architecture and Your Choice of Data Stores
The Bentley Geospatial Server is the centerpiece of the Bentley GIS Architecture. It was designed for flexibility and growth, because Bentley understands that different tasks and workflows require different approaches. We also believe that common standards are critical to mapping and infrastructure applications.
That’s why we have designed our GIS products to allow use of the same feature model and products with a choice of several persistent data stores. You can choose the one that’s right for the job and your organization:
A two-tier connection to Oracle Spatial
- A three-tier connection to Oracle Spatial
- A three-tier connection to ArcGIS
- Self-contained “XFM” DGN files
- Any RDBMS/DGN supported by MicroStation
Our Enterprise GIS Systems such as Bentley Geospatial Server, allow you to manage, edit, index and plot structured and unstructured data adding to the typical monolithic data model typically used by GIS applications.
The Geospatial Server based on the Connector for Oracle Spatial, the architecture supports simultaneous multi-user editing, long transactions, optimistic and pessimistic locking, and the time component features provided by Oracle Spatial. The Geospatial Server is seamlessly integrated with MicroStation, Bentley Map (and derivative applications), ArcMap, and AutoCAD.
