Agenda

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
