Why transition to the cloud?

Today, companies need to do more with less. Cloud technology can help increase employee collaboration, create efficiencies, simplify IT management, and improve organizational access to information - all while working within the constraints of shrinking budgets. 

Exelis has worked hard to enable ENVI image and data analytic capabilities within virtually any existing enterprise or cloud environment. When ENVI is deployed in your cloud, it takes advantage of existing investments in server and enterprise technology and enables the use of lightweight browser based clients and apps to access ENVI analytics.

Many of our customers have already taken the steps to move their image analysis capabilities into the cloud. The result has been reduced hardware and software management costs, improved organizational collaboration, and the optimization of their analytic workflows. Exelis has the experience and the technology to help your organization successfully migrate to the cloud.

Contact us for more information and see how the ENVI software stack will help your organization realize the benefits of cloud technology.

It's never been easier to transition powerful ENVI analytics from the desktop into the cloud or enterprise. In this video, Pat Collins discusses how the transition into a cloud environment can benefit your organization.

Geospatial Solutions in the Cloud
Geospatial analytics allow people to ask questions of data that exist within a spatial context. Usually this means extracting information from remotely sensed data such as multispectral imagery or LiDAR that is focused on observing the Earth and the things happening on it, both in a static sense or over a period of time.

Enterprise Geospatial Solutions from Exelis Inc.
As interoperable, web-based data analysis software packages become more accessible, the information that can be derived with such software will be fused with traditional GIS data to increase the accuracy of the information being fed to the user.

ENVI and IDL Services Engine
As users scale their work to enterprise and cloud deployments, the Services Engine provides ENVI and IDL processing functionality as RESTful web services for online and on-demand scientific data analysis.
