GEOFidelis Introduction• Background
GEOFidelis Regionalization• Benefits and Approach
Regional System Configuration• Background• Performance• Failover Procedures• Standardization for the Enterprise
What is GEOFidelis?
GIS for Installation Management in the Marine Corps
• Environmental/Natural Resource Stewardship Encroachment Control
• Privatization (Utilities and Housing)• Land Management• Facilities Sustainment and Modernization• Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)• Homeland Defense• Range and Training Sustainment• AT/FP and Critical Infrastructure Protection• Guam Relocation• Real Property Inventory• Grow The Force
Recent Program Accomplishments
Published MCO 11000.25 Established East and West Coast Regional Centers Released the GEOFidelis Portal (HQMC, East, West)Established Central Data Repository (with a copy on the SIPRNET)Established a GIO position at HQMCCompleted NMCI C&A of ArcGIS 9.1 product suiteConsolidated ESRI Maintenance and LicensingPublished GEOFidelis Common Installation Picture and Data Model Published GEOFidelis Data Management GuidePublishing GEOFidelis Data Security & Data Classification Guide
Geospatial Data Actions
2007 Aerial Imagery Refresh of all CONUS installations.Continued coordination with TEC/NGA on satellite imagery for USMC installations, reserve sites, and other AOIPictometry - Oblique Imagery acquisition for CONUS + Hawaii installationsContinued migration of installations to GEOFidelis Data ModelEnvironmental Liabilities mapping and integration with GEOFidelisBusiness Requirements Gathering Effort
Regionalization
Why Regional Centers?
Provide common output levels of service or capabilityLeverage best practices and business processes• Enables installations to focus limited staff resources integration
of geospatial solutions to support mission• Leverages GIS tools not previously available to support
installation mission processes• Standardizes user practices
Operational and Cost Efficiencies• Reduces system administration• Reduces hardware, software, and license maintenance costs• Reduces NMCI costs - Move from desktop to server based
environment• Supports a robust portfolio management approach to geospatial
information and assets
GEOFidelis Regional Centers
Identified two regional centers• MCB Camp Lejeune will support MCI East, MCNCR, MCRD
PI• MCB Camp Pendleton will support MCI West, MCRD SD
and MCB Hawaii (also hosting MCB Butler, MCAS Iwakuni, and Guam data)
Regional System Configuration
Prior USMC Installation GIS Architecture
Current GEOFidelis Architecture
“To Be” GEOFidelis Architecture (Summer 2008)
Regional System Configuration
System Components
• Database Servers −SQL Server, ArcSDE
• Web Servers −Sharepoint−ArcIMS/ArcGIS Server
• Application Servers −ArcGIS Desktop suite via Citrix/Terminal Services
• Storage Area Networks
Citrix Application DeliveryConsolidated Licensing• More GIS Tools in Users Hands• Potential to Leverage Time Zones• Cost Savings with Expanded Capacity
CONUS + Hawaii Performance• Excellent Results• Outperforms NMCI Desktop• Simplified Application Delivery
OCONUS Performance• Mixed Results• Latency in Raster and Complex Views• Does Not Outperform Local Computing Solutions
GEOFidelis Portals
Failover Planning
What Happens During Network or Power Failure?Installation Data Access• Personal Geodatabase burned to CDROM at scheduled
intervals• Current Imagery on DVD• Utilization of Laptops and Single Use Licensing
Planned COOP between Regions• Data Recovery and Access• Licenses Distributed between Regions
GEOFidelis Enterprise Technical Subcommittee
Goals• Achieve Organizational Efficiency• Establish a Common Service Oriented Architecture• Develop a Common Approach to Configuration,
Release, and Capacity Management• Develop a Common Approach to Managing Risk and
Maintaining Service Levels• Realize Greater Operating Value
Process• Technical Leads from all GEOFidelis Nodes• Deliver “To Be” Standards and support I&E
