GIS Matters has a nice entry on a technology overview of ArcGIS Server 9.2. From the entry: "It is a "complete" out of the box server-based GIS for spatial data management, visualization and analysis, and is a key component of the ArcGIS platform. ArcGIS Server is designed for use by small workgroups, as well as very large distributed enterprises that use the web as part of their IT infrastructure. [...] ArcGIS Server 9.2 expands the capabilities of earlier server products quite considerably."

ArcGIS Server 9.2 News and Licensing 2 comments

There's been a lot of very interesting discussing regarding ArcGIS Server 9.2 lately. You can start with the ArcGIS Server Functionality Matrix [pdf] (via Spatially Adjusted) see also this previous story). Then it is worthed to read Dave Bouwman's entry on the fine print of ArcGIS Server licensing, also discussed by Spatially Adjusted. If ArcGIS Server is your daily tool, see the Manager Video about it. From Dave Bouwman's entry: "So - where are we. If you want to design a system the way you have it running today - you're looking a 3 times the base pricing for server - this will get you ArcSDE running as a service on a separate DBMS (assuming 2 sockets) and the web ADF running on it's own server (also 2 sockets). [...] Creating a tile cache is not magic that can only be done by ESRI. Brian Flood has implemented this in the next version of Arc2Earth (pro edition costs $299). Slap OpenLayers (free) in front of that, and you've got the same thing running for a tiny fraction of the cost."
