GeoSmart.net HostingHosted applications can increase awareness and demonstrate the value of GIS to larger numbers of people, both within an organization or to the public at large with relatively little commitment of the organization's resources required. As perceived value increases, GIS utilization and funding often expand as well.MoosePoint Technology, Inc. offers hosting services to any client interested in publishing web mapping applications built in the GeoSmart.net™ development environment from a location outside of their own facilities. This includes both current GeoSmart.net clients wishing to establish internet sites in a secure facility outside their own "firewall," or those organizations not yet ready to commit the capital and staff resources to in-house GIS website development, but have a clear need for a limited number of key applications. Our turnkey service includes application development in GeoSmart.net and deployment on our shared servers, in our state-of-the-art facility in Santa Rosa, California. We provide a variety of other services dictated by the unique needs of the client, which result in stable GIS applications available 24 x 7 on the internet. In depth expertise in network and systems integration, broad-based GIS application development, and web technology, are all critical skill sets in delivering sophisticated and highly usable applications and services of the highest quality. MoosePoint's professional staff doesn't settle for anything less. There are several important variables in establishing both setup costs and on-going monthly costs, with application complexity, data readiness, and frequency of data updates chief among them. The following details our hosting facility, the nature of included services, and a description of how costs are determined.

Data Center FacilityOur high security state-of-the-art data center is physically located in the same building with our offices. It includes the following features:
Standard Hosting ServicesOnsite, skilled technical staff will coordinate all necessary hardware and software resources to ensure consistency and reliability of the production applications and environment. The following hosting services will be provided:Initial Set-upThis first step in the hosting process is intended to establish the technical foundation, including data update processes, which ensure that the hardware environment is stable and secure, and that all applications are equally secure, highly available, and meet the highest quality standards for usability and performance. This setup covers hardware and software installation and configuration for pre-existing, fully functioning GeoSmart.net applications.In the case of new GeoSmart.net hosting clients who provide application-ready data, it also includes the initial development of a small number (generally, 1-3) of simple applications that can all share the same ArcIMS map service, and having a limited number of layers (generally, 5 or less). In all cases MoosePoint asks that clients assume full responsibility for data accuracy and validity. Prior to releasing applications to a production environment, we ask that clients verify and accept application function and data validity using their own testing procedures. One Time Setup includes:
On-Going ServicesThe services listed below are standard services. They may be modified to suit a client's individual requirements. The data update procedure established initially needs to be rigorously adhered to; MoosePoint assumes that all data provided by the client is valid and formatted as agreed to in the initial set-up procedure.
