  1. Sharing Globes and Imagery Using GlobeserverSean Boyer - AGI

  2. What is Globeserver? Globeserver • Streaming technology for STK and AGI Viewer • Streams processed imagery and terrain from a server via internet • Benefits • Data centralization • World wide user access • Portability of scenarios and VDFs • Data services • Cost • Freeware • Availability • Available with STK 7 release • Easy download Processed Imagery (.PDTTX) Processed Terrain (.PDTT) Internet / Intranet STK AGI Viewer

  3. Types of Globeserver content • Imagery data sets • Globes • Inlays • Specular maps • Night Lights • Terrain data sets • For visualization STK client

  8. .GLB .GLB Scenario portability with Globeserver • Old way • Send imagery and terrain separately on DVD or hard disk • New way with Globeserver • Send .GLB within scenario or by itself • Or refer directly to a globe on Globeserver Globeserver Internet / Intranet Scenario STK STK

  9. Globeserver administration • Ability to authenticate users • Username, password, and expiration date Globeserver with user authentication Free Globeserver Internet / Intranet

  10. Data security • Content not captured by client • PDTTX and PDTT are binary proprietary formats • Secure mode can be enabled for extra security • Traffic monitored with 3rd party internet tools

  11. Scalability • Server upgrades • Additional data storage • Load balancing with multiple servers

  12. Hardware requirements • Client – STK 6.2 and up, STK 7 if using authentication • Server (recommended) • Windows Server 2003 • 2+ GHz CPU • 2 GB CPU memory • 300+ GB storage • This configuration serves roughly 10 to 25 simultaneous scenarios depending on: • Data complexity (3D terrain is more complex) • Scenario dynamics • Other bottlenecks (bandwidth, network hardware)
