What is ArcGIS, and where is it installed on the TeraGrid?
ArcGIS, developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), is an integrated collection of geographic information system (GIS) software products for building a complete GIS. ArcGIS enables users to deploy GIS functionality wherever it is needed in desktops, servers, or custom applications; over the web; or in the field. For more information about the critical GIS concepts that provide the foundation for ArcGIS, download the ESRI tutorial, What is ArcGIS? (PDF, 17MB).
To find which TeraGrid resources have this software (and which version) installed, use the Comprehensive TeraGrid Software Search (beta):
- Make sure the first drop-down list is set to
Name.
- Enter the application name in the text box.
- Click
Search.
If your search returns 0 results, it may mean this software is no
longer available on the TeraGrid. If so, and you wish to use this
application, contact help@teragrid.org .
Note: The Comprehensive TeraGrid Software Search application searches for information supplied directly by Resource Provider (RP) sites and gateways, and stored in the TeraGrid Information Services repository. Data is still being populated during the beta release.
For more information about TeraGrid software, see the following pages in the TeraGrid User Support documentation:
- Coordinated TeraGrid Software and Services (CTSS)
- TeraGrid Software Repository
- Comprehensive TeraGrid Software Search (beta)
