TerraShare®
TerraShare® is an enterprise infrastructure for geospatial data management and earth imaging production. TerraShare integrates storage infrastructure with end-user production and exploitation tools, enabling individuals and organizations to address their geospatial data management, access, and distribution needs effectively. This unique solution addresses the complete geospatial raster and elevation information life cycle within the enterprise.
The need for geospatial data management
The use of raster and elevation image files in geospatial applications is critical to the success of a wide variety of workflows in engineering, photogrammetry, local and regional governments, and military organizations. Raw image and elevation data can become true geospatial information assets only when they can be accessed and used by all potential enterprise stakeholders. At the enterprise level, geospatial data assets are important to information technology (IT) organizations from a data management and technology infrastructure perspective, to end users for geospatial production projects, and in their final use as input or reference for a multitude of corporate functions.
The TerraShare solution
TerraShare turns raw raster and elevation data into geospatial enterprise information assets providing users with direct, efficient access to the corporate geospatial information. The system also provides a common image and elevation repository that is transparent to users regardless of the data format, storage location, and desktop application used
TerraShare addresses the management challenges as data assets make their way across the enterprise, starting from the acquisition of these assets through processing by specialists, until their exploitation by end users. TerraShare extends the possibilities of enterprise geospatial data management to unstructured geo-referenced information (image or elevation files). Organizations can increase their return on investment on geospatial data, technology, and resources, as well as improve the bottom line of their geospatial production operations.
