Thank you for your continued interest in the Architecting the ArcGIS System: Best Practices paper! Many of you have referenced this document in your work for years, and we are excited to announce its next evolution: the ArcGIS Well-Architected Framework and Architecture Center website.
The new website experience provides this paper’s content in much greater depth, as well as a series of brand-new concepts and resources. You can visit the site now at https://architecture.arcgis.com. Additionally, there is a blog post which offers an overview of its structure and content, which you may read here.
This PDF document will not be updated and will be deprecated after April 2024, at which point it will be unavailable for online access. That said, you may download and continue to access it locally.
We hope you visit and spend time on the new website as it provides invaluable information that has never-before been made available through self-service mechanisms. We think it will greatly benefit our customers in their work to successfully design, implement, and operate enterprise systems with ArcGIS.
