Spatial Data Management on AWS

Make it easy to manage, store, and process your spatial and geospatial data

Open guide

Overview

Managing spatial data at scale presents significant challenges for storage, compute, and security requirements. With costly data acquisition and creation, organizations need robust processes to track, integrate, and use spatial assets across spatial workflows. Spatial Data Management on AWS provides a comprehensive solution to store, manage, and connect your spatial data as a single source of truth. You can deploy the solution in your AWS account and use the pre-built client to start uploading and managing your spatial data immediately.

Benefits

Store all your spatial data in a single, secure, scalable and highly available location powered by Amazon S3. You can use the desktop client, CLI or APIs to upload, download, and manage files and folders while preserving the data structure.

Streamline the process of adding metadata to your spatial assets at scale. The solution automatically extracts and applies relevant metadata tags. You can review, edit, and bulk-apply custom metadata using predefined templates.

Organize and access your spatial data using a flexible resource model that supports grouping and access control. You can quickly search for assets and files based on system-defined or custom attributes, including geolocation tags. Use the map-based dashboard to visually locate and discover assets based on their physical geographic coordinates.

Define connectors to integrate your spatial data stored in S3 with various applications, APIs, and data processing jobs. You can trigger actions and workflows based on events associated with your spatial assets, ensuring seamless data exchange across your pipeline.

How it works

Deploy Spatial Data Management on AWS through AWS CloudFormation with Amazon S3 for storage. The solution integrates with AWS Deadline Cloud to extract metadata, transform files, and generate previews. Access your assets through web and desktop portals or integrate with your digital twin applications using connectors that you configure directly in the UI.
