Data Hosting - Imagery

You will need to have a MetroMap Enterprise or Partner plan to access MetroMap Data Hosting service.

What is Data Hosting in MetroMap?

Data hosting is a product offering within MetroMap that enables users to add their own imagery data to our services and platform.

We successfully host our customer’s imagery (captured via drone, satellite or plane - historical or recent - bespoke or as part of other surveys) on their MetroMap account for an expanded view of their environment and AOIs.

Why does MetroMap offer this?

This is a value-added offering for larger organisations using MetroMap. While many other solution providers only make their own data available via their platforms and services, MetroMap recognises that many customers have additional imagery and by adding this to our platform, they can enhance their product experience and useability.

Often this customer imagery is sitting on local drives that make the data poorly accessible, challenging to manage, and expensive to maintain and store. Customers have limited or no mechanisms for delivering this to all their users and the money they’ve invested in this imagery is not realised to its fullest potential as no one can access it seamlessly with other data in spatial applications or a web map viewer.

What benefits does this offer our customers?

• Improved performance as we can offer large datasets at scale with tile caching and virtual mosaics

• Greater accessibility to your valuable data will add more context to workflows and decision-making tools

• Reduced costs of storage and maintenance of data

• Reduced overheads as there is no requirement to create your own imagery services

• Bringing all data under one service, simplifying user access and interoperability
