Imagery has historically held an important place in GIS software. Whether serving as a natural background for GIS applications or for direct interpretation of data, processed for statistics and analysis, or serving as the source for many vector maps, imagery has many demands placed upon it. While huge volumes of imagery from many sources exist today, accessibility to this data is a challenge and as a result only a fraction of what is available is actually accessed. Increasing access to the imagery increases its value, and since images are a snapshot in time, the faster they are made available the more useful they are to those who need them. ArcGIS Image Server software provides innovative solutions for clients needing massive amounts of imagery for their GIS applications without extensive preprocessing or alteration of source data.
