ERDAS APOLLO on the Cloud is an offering that gives users all the delivery power and data management of ERDAS APOLLO Professional on the Cloud.
When asked are people interested in using this as an adjunct to APOLLO Professional as a way to extend the desktop, CEO Joel Campbell replied:
“I think it’s more of an instead of. What we’ve noticed in market space for geospatial serving technology, is there’s a level of expertise that’s required – IT expertise, there’s a commitment to hardware and software that’s required that’s not typical in your GIS implementation and there’s a level of information technology – database software, middleware for web serving etc. We’ve noticed in a lot of organizations that our customers have a genuine interest in having that kind of serving technology but they don’t have access to that level of resource. They don’t have these IT departments and racks of servers laying around.”
Most people upgrade their hardware and software on a three year cycle, said Campbell. ERDAS makes an equivalent offering with the Cloud – you would spend the same or less money in three years and have access to the Cloud rather than own hardware and software that become outdated.
