About SkylineGlobe Server (SGS)  

SkylineGlobe Server is a private cloud solution that provides a comprehensive set of web services for publishing, storing, managing and streaming 3D spatial data. All your spatial data types can be streamed including imagery (MPT/TBP/WMS/WMTS), elevation (MPT/TBP/WMS/WMTS), feature (WFS/WFS-T), 3D Mesh (3DML, OGC 3D Tiles, Esri I3S/SLPK), point cloud (CPT, OGC 3D Tiles), and project files.

Individual geospatial layers and complete projects can be directly uploaded and published to the cloud server from TerraExplorer Pro or other Skyline client applications. Through a single publishing operation, data is made ready for consumption by all TerraExplorer clients: Desktop, Web and Mobile, as well as other geospatial applications. Server-side geospatial layers that are stored in files and databases on the server can also be published by scanning their data stores and publishing selected layers.

In addition to streaming layers to remote TerraExplorer clients, SkylineGlobe Server can also convert and expose data in other formats, while storing only the original data formats on the server. This enables access by other clients, including Esri, QGIS and Cesium-based viewers. All data on your server is cataloged and referenced so clients can easily find the specific published layer required.

For enhanced scalability, SkylineGlobe Server can be configured as a single server or as part of a server cluster. A server cluster is a collection of servers, behind a load balancer, that communicate with each other in order to serve data to clients with higher availability.

Your data is kept safe by multiple security layers, including restriction of each user group to predefined data folders and a robust and customized user authentication mechanism. The server’s built-in complete user access control system allows easy management of users, groups and virtual private servers (sites). Administrative roles can control the server side upload storage space per user/group/site, number of concurrent viewers, expiration dates and view/edit access permission.
