Disaster Recovery in GIS:FME Cloud Server Saves the DayLou ManglassGISP
What’s This All About, Then?
▪ The scope of this presentation is total loss of a datacenter/operation
▪ The goal is to establish basic operations but a discussion of Business Continuity is out of scope
▪ We’ll look at additional leverage provided by the recovery solution
▪ Questions▪ Interesting presentation from Georgia Power!
Worst-Case Scenario
Don’t Panic!!!

Cloud and/or multi-site redundancy?
Both may be better!
Cloud▪ Little to maintain▪ Geographically
redundant▪ Scales quickly▪ No assets▪ Easy to include
partner agencies
Multiple Sites▪ Operating space for
displaced employees▪ Not Internet reliant▪ Predictable cost▪ Can build partnerships▪ High bandwidth

Either way:
YOU WIN!
Settle for noemutations!
Our Sample Use Case
● Athens-Clarke County: population 116,000● Data will come in from and support multiple
departments/agencies (Planning, Assessor, Fire, PD, UGA, Traffic Engineering, Dispatch, State and Federal agencies)
● Multi-site agency● Agencies and partners (such as utility
organizations) should be able to submit data● Metadata should be captured● Technicians will analyze data● Customers need actionable data products
Data Reconstruction Workflow
OptionalWeb Interface
FME Server API/Web Interface
FME Workspaces
Amazon Cloud DB(RDS for
PostgreSQL
OptionalWeb Mapping
(OpenGeo)
Advantages of a Web interface
▪ Abstract and centralize access (S3 IAM keys, FME Cloud API keys, web interface roles)
▪ Simplify workflows for users, who may be untrained
▪ Spin up entire DR stack on demand▪ Branding/Organizational Identification▪ No resources required on-premises (which is
gone, remember?)
FME Server Interface:Easy Peasy
Core FME Workspace
Posting to PostGIS
Interfaces and Users
▪ Admins▪ Standard admin tools (over SSH, etc.)
▪ Anaylsts▪ FME Desktop▪ ESRI ArcGIS▪ Intergraph GeoMedia▪ QGIS
▪ Consumers▪ ESRI ArcGIS Server▪ OpenGeo Stack▪ Custom webapps
Boundless OpenGeo Suite...
...Also available on AWS!
Access Management
AWS Security Groups/Firewall
Deployment
TL;DL: FME Cloud Server Saves the Day!▪ Up and running faster than you can move to your
backup site▪ AWS scales to meet massive data needs▪ Inexpensive: FME Cloud Server starts at $1/hour!▪ With APIs, whole process can be automated▪ All stakeholders can easily submit data which is
robustly served to all customers▪ Can be part of an existing data continuity plan▪ Provides opportunities for other business units,
providing organization-wide leverage
Thank You!
