ESRI ArcSDE is a server software product used to access massively large multiuser geographic databases stored in relational database management systems (RDBMSs). It is an integrated part of ArcGIS and a core element of any enterprise GIS solution. Its primary role is to act as the GIS gateway to spatial data stored in a RDBMS. ArcSDE provides a suite of services that enhance data management performance, extend the range of data types that can be stored in a RDBMS, enable schema portability between RDBMSs, and offer configuration flexibility.

CDs are available for distribution upon request at the Research Computing Support Center, Wilson Hall 244. This product is distributed infrequently, so it is best to call 243-8800 or email res-consult@Virginia.EDU in advance to ensure that a CD will be available for you.
