Cloud Services

SkylineGlobe Server (SGS) is a private cloud solution that provides a comprehensive set of web services for publishing, storing, managing and streaming 3D spatial data. SkylineGlobe Server provides streaming services for all your spatial data types including terrain (MPT/TBP), map (raster-WMS/WMTS), feature (WFS/WFS-T), 3D Mesh (3DML, OGC 3D Tiles, I3S/SLPK), and point cloud (CPT, OGC 3D Tiles). All data on your server is cataloged and referenced so clients can easily find the specific published layer required. Your data is kept safe by multiple security layers, including restriction of each user group to predefined data folders and a robust user authentication mechanism.

The server’s built-in complete user access control system allows easy management of users, groups, and administrative roles controlling the server-side storage and client-side view/edit permissions.

SkylineGlobe Server is compliant with the following OpenGIS Implementation Specifications:

§ OpenGIS^® Web Feature Service (WFS) Implementation Specification

§ OpenGIS^® Web Feature Service Transactions (WFS-T) Implementation Specification

§ OpenGIS^® Web Map Service (WMS) Implementation Specification

§ OpenGIS^® Web Map Tiling Service (WMTS) Implementation Specification

SkylineGlobe Terrain Service

Powerful terrain service technology for streaming terrain data stored either in Skyline optimized terrain databases (MPT) or in terrain databases defined by the TerraBuilder project file (TBP) to remote TerraExplorer clients and any application that reads the standard OGC WMS/WMTS protocol.

SkylineGlobe Feature Service

Powerful feature service technology for streaming point, polyline, and polygon feature layers from files and from the Oracle, SQL server, PostGIS and ArcSDE databases to remote TerraExplorer clients and any application that reads the standard OGC WFS protocol. The Feature Service can stream most TerraExplorer supported feature layer formats. It also supports advanced spatial and attribute queries from TerraExplorer and other WFS clients. With SGS’s support for WFS-T (Web Feature Service-Transactional), remote clients can edit (create, delete, and update features) the feature layer and save changes to the data source.

SkylineGlobe Maps Service

Powerful maps service technology for streaming most TerraExplorer supported raster layer formats to remote TerraExplorer clients and any application that reads the standard OGC WMS/WMTS protocol. The layers are streamed as WMS/WMTS tiles in JPEG and PNG formats.

SkylineGlobe 3D Mesh Service

Powerful 3D city model service technology for streaming 3D Mesh Layer (3DML) databases from 3DML files to remote TerraExplorer clients. 3D mesh layers (3DML) are high-resolution, textured, 3D mesh models that have been compressed and stream-optimized to accelerate loading speed and efficiently handle memory. The 3D Mesh Service also exposes the data as OGC 3D Tiles for TerraExplorer for Web and Cesium based clients.

SkylineGlobe Point Cloud Service

Powerful point cloud service technology for streaming multi-resolution and stream-optimized point cloud data from CPT files to remote TerraExplorer clients. The Point Cloud Service also exposes the data as OGC 3D Tiles for TerraExplorer for Web and Cesium based clients.
