Esri, a global leader in location intelligence, has released for general availability ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise for self-hosted deployments on Windows and Linux. This enables organisations to leverage Velocity from secure on-premises and private cloud environments. Available as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for ArcGIS Online and now for self-hosted environments in ArcGIS Enterprise, Esri’s next-generation geospatial capability delivers real-time analytics on streaming, Internet of Things (IoT), sensor and asset data. It helps organisations track and visualise public events, supply chains and infrastructure to identify and respond to potential threats.
ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise expands cloud-native support to enterprise customers across industries in government and business that rely on firewall protection and internal security compliance. ArcGIS Velocity connects to more than 20 ready-to-use feeds for real-time data providers, including Dataminr, Samsara, FlightAware, Baron Weather and CompassCom, and works with the major common web messaging protocols and API formats. Users can configure real-time analytics to enrich incoming data with additional context and answer location-based questions as events unfold, turning raw feeds into actionable intelligence. By responding to predefined triggers, Velocity can be configured to automatically send alerts or perform downstream actions, shortening the time from observation to decision-making.
“Organisations rely on ArcGIS Velocity to turn real-time data into operational awareness and action,” said Hayley Miller, Esri product manager. “By bringing Velocity to ArcGIS Enterprise, customers can now deploy these capabilities in their own secure, self-hosted environments – powering living digital twins, mission-critical monitoring and faster response when conditions are changing by the second.”
“The window between a threat emerging and a response being mobilised is measured in seconds. If we can shrink the gap, lives and operations can be protected,” said Fraser Charles, Senior Director of Partner Ecosystems at Dataminr.
Charles added: “Dataminr delivers the earliest intelligence on breaking events, and by leveraging ArcGIS Velocity real-time data ingestion and visualisation in ArcGIS Enterprise, organisations close the gap, allowing teams to instantaneously discover, decide and act at the speed of breaking events before a situation escalates.”
By unifying real-time data workflows across ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise, the new Velocity deployment offering creates a consistent experience for organizations, whether they prefer self-hosted software or SaaS. ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise will replace ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, for which Velocity now serves as a functional equivalent within ArcGIS Enterprise.
