ArcGIS®
Enterprise
Fu n c t i o n a l i t y M at r i x
ArcGIS® Enterprise is the foundational software for geographic
information system (GIS) technology—mapping and visualization,
analytics, and Esri’s suite of geospatial applications. It is software
that is self-hosted in public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises
infrastructure. ArcGIS Enterprise can be deployed on Windows,
Linux, and Kubernetes.

This functionality matrix features the vast and diverse capabilities

in ArcGIS Enterprise so you can identify which products, licenses,
user types, capabilities, and extensions best fit your needs.

You can manage, map, analyze, and share GIS data to power your
decisions. ArcGIS Enterprise comes with enterprise-ready features
including full data management control that empowers you to
visualize your data spatially, perform analysis in your web browser
to discover patterns and trends, and share and collaborate inside
and outside your organization.

ArcGIS Enterprise includes options for comprehensive mapping,

image exploitation, real-time data processing, big data analysis,
and using data science tools. It also powers the full suite of
applications for field data collection, analysis, operational
intelligence, and workforce tracking.

Powerful, collaborative, and secure—ArcGIS Enterprise

epitomizes modern GIS in your infrastructure.

ArcGIS Enterprise comes with tools to get you started­—including

builders for simple single-machine deployments, Chef and
PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) scripts to automate
custom deployments, and machine-generated images to jump-
start cloud deployments on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and
Microsoft Azure.

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes enables deployments on

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Azure
Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and
Red Hat OpenShift. See page 14 for more information on this
option.

ArcGIS Enterprise Functionality Matrix

Deploying There are three deployment options for ArcGIS Enterprise: Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes.

ArcGIS For Windows and Linux, you can deploy ArcGIS Enterprise manually, installing and
configuring each component in sequence, or you can automate the deployment process by
Enterprise using one of the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment automation tools. Customers interested in
deploying on Kubernetes should have a Kubernetes cluster available1 as well as appropriate
expertise in managing a Kubernetes environment. See the Kubernetes section on page 14
for more information.

The following matrix compares common deployment characteristics among the

ArcGIS Enterprise deployment automation tools for Windows and Linux.

Licensing ArcGIS Enterprise Standard and Advanced

ArcGIS Enterprise can be licensed in two different editions: Standard and Advanced.

ArcGIS Enterprise Standard includes geodatabase management and access to all the
web service types offered by ArcGIS GIS Server Basic. This allows you to enable your
maps for the web, support web-based editing using feature services, and publish
geoprocessing services from any tool included in ArcGIS Desktop Standard. Finally,
you can share maps, apps, and other geographic information with everyone in your
organization through the ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

With ArcGIS Enterprise Advanced, you get everything in the Standard edition, plus the
ability to publish geoprocessing services from any tool included in ArcGIS Desktop
Advanced. Additional capabilities for geostatistical models and spatial analysis tools
are also included with the Advanced edition. All other extensions are optionally
available for licensing.

For specific details, see the included capabilities for the ArcGIS GIS Server Standard
and ArcGIS GIS Server Advanced license levels. ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes
has its own license for an annual subscription that provides functionality such as GIS
services and portal and data store capabilities.

ArcGIS GIS Server Basic

ArcGIS GIS Server Basic is limited-capability software that primarily provides enterprise
geodatabase functionality. It also includes the ability to publish (but not edit) feature
and geodata services. ArcGIS GIS Server Basic cannot be federated as part of an ArcGIS
Enterprise deployment or designated as a hosting server.

ArcGIS GIS Server Advanced

ArcGIS GIS Server Advanced uniquely includes ArcGIS 3D AnalystTM, ArcGIS Spatial AnalystTM, and
Included ArcGIS Network AnalystTM. ArcGIS 3D Analyst tools allow users to interact with and visualize 3D data to
gain insights that aren’t possible with 2D data. ArcGIS 3D Analyst provides users with tools to analyze
Additional GIS data in a true 3D space, which is critical for analyzing terrain, modeling subsurface and atmospheric
License features, optimizing site selection, and more. ArcGIS Spatial Analyst provides more than 150 tools and
Required functions that users can embed in their web apps for on-the-fly analysis including suitability modeling,
distance and direction calculations, and hydrologic modeling. ArcGIS Network Analyst is included

Kubernetes ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes enables deployments in the public cloud with

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Google Kubernetes
Engine, and in private clouds or on premises with Red Hat OpenShift.

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes provides a cloud-native architecture, based on the

principles of microservices and containerization. Significant benefits include elasticity
to scale services with built-in high availability, fast deployments and an easy update and
upgrade experience, and optimized resource utilization. A Kubernetes environment
can reduce administrative overhead, making it easier to manage an ArcGIS Enterprise
deployment.

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes is intended for organizations familiar with deploying

and managing containerized applications using Kubernetes. The software is available
through an annual subscription. To learn more, please talk with your Esri representative
or distributor.
