Introduction
The Geocap Seismic Server extends ArcGIS Server with the capability of serving seismic data, including 2D lines and 3D volumes. The data can be accessed by almost any client, such as a web browser, using a dedicated REST API or the Geocap Javascript SDK.
The Seismic Server is technically a Server Object Extension (SOE) and can easily be installed as an extension to an existing ArcGIS Server. This way the Seismic Server leverages the full power of ArcGIS Server with only a minium of additional installation and configuration.
Requirements
Seismic Server requires ArcGIS Server 10.3 or later. Also the Geocap Seismic Explorer for ArcMap or ZGY tool will be needed to convert the seismic files on the desktop before publishing. The reader should have a basic understanding of the concepts of registered datastores and managed databases as well as how to publish maps from ArcMap.
How to acquire the Seismic Server
