Deploying the data appliance on ArcGIS 10.1 for Server
Data resources required for deploying your services are found on the following:
- A data collection consisting of a set of data hard drives. This data collection is used for publishing map and globe services.
- A DVD containing the World Places Locator dataset. The DVD also includes help for publishing the locator as an ArcGIS 10.1 service.
The Data Appliance for ArcGIS data collections consist of map resources that you can publish on ArcGIS 10.1 for Server. These include caches of prerendered map tiles, as well as the map documents that reference them. You need these resources in order to create fast-performing services in ArcGIS 10.1 for Server.
