Service Summary: System Architecture

When planning a digital transformation or integration project involving GIS, UDC’s System Architecture service supports the critical phase of building a scalable GIS architectural framework that aligns the system infrastructure to your future technology requirements. Our service focuses on utility initiatives involving core geospatial software, including the ArcGIS Enterprise and related operating systems, with the aim of modernizing utility infrastructure, servers, storage, networks, and databases to meet the growing IT demands of digitalization.

UDC’s holistic and flexible approach to system architecture, coupled with our knowledge of the leading cloud technology stacks, optimizes your IT transformation at the enterprise level. We help you find the solution that works best for your GIS system and businesses, whether in the cloud, on-premises in the data center, or through a hybrid approach.

Our unique understanding of utility business process flows, systems, and data, underpinned by our foundational GIS-based architecture expertise, empowers us to accurately size and configure your system to achieve your enterprise goals. We can help align your system with industry best practices for well-architected frameworks, redesign your GIS architecture to address current or future performance issues, and automate your IT/OT utility management processes for greater returns on your technology investments.

System Architecture Value Add Services

Beyond sizing your architecture for your new system, UDC can provide additional services to support your System Architecture needs:

  • Cloud Decision Support: We help you decide whether to deploy your services in the cloud, on-premises in the data center, or using a hybrid approach. UDC evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of both options for your organization and provides a cost analysis.
  • Performance Testing: UDC installs and configures ArcGIS Monitor, conducts load testing and stress testing for the new architecture, and reviews and analyzes the monitoring metrics collected during performance testing and user acceptance testing activities.
  • Availability Testing: Failover and backup recovery testing are performed to verify the system’s reliability and durability following your organization’s high availability and disaster recovery requirements.
  • Security Testing: Security scans are conducted across the new system to identify and resolve any misconfigurations leading to security gaps.
