Steve Hagan, VP of Development, Server Technology, Oracle, discussed platforms issues for the development of geocloud at the Geospatial World Forum in Hyderabad. He identified four global drivers for geospatial cloud computing:
-
Big data - terabytes and petabytes of data
-
Sensors, RFID, LiDAR, etc.
-
Big Software
-
Spatially enable all applications: ERP, CRM, BI
-
Real time Analytics
-
Big value from fastest response – streams and events
-
Tracking in real time and predicting where people, or payloads will be
-
BI in real time
-
Big hardware
-
Cloud platforms
-
Massively parallel data base machines
And scalability is needed to support all of the above.

This week’s question: Is the spatial database a commodity? With all the big database players storing and querying spatial data and several open source offerings in the market, is spatial no longer special when in comes to the database world? Is it time to "stop getting excited" about the addition of spatial support and simply use the technology?

This week we look at geodata formats - what’s new, what’s needed, what’s working and what’s not. Among our topics: Google’s newly announced Map Data API, the Shapefile 2.0 Manifesto, SpatiaLite and the state of KML in the wild.

Last week Ask.com moved off its longtime mapping platform to Microsoft’s Virtual Earth. What are the practical choices these days for those who want mapping as part of their portals? Has customization and a unique look and feel been overshadowed by a few strong hosted solutions to which everyone will eventually migrate? Our editors sort out the options and trends and end up using the “c” word - commodity.

The editors look outward to find technologies that will impact how geospatial products and practices will change in the next 12 to 24 months. Some of the suggested technologies are already appearing in cutting edge products, others are not yet implemented in geospatial solutions, but we expect to see them soon.
