eSpatial’s iSMART, an advanced GeoSpatial platform for the delivery of sophisticated web applications, combined with Oracle Database XE offers an excellent platform for applications with smaller data sets. Developers, DBAs, students, and ISVs can easily get started in developing database applications using this combined solution.

iSMART includes an out-of-the box GeoPortal to allow users to rapidly publish and query spatial data in hours rather than weeks. The GeoPortal provides an easy to use interface, delivering advanced features, including pure web-editing enabling deployment of spatial applications at a fraction of the cost and complexity of alternative solutions.

Using the iSMART GeoPortal user interface, administrators can manage a variety of data types, including Oracle Database XE, with features provided to configure required spatial indices, temporal changes and modification monitoring as well as deployment of the iSMART GeoSpatial cache within the Application Server. Oracle database XE supports up to 4Gb of data with no limitation on the number of users or on the specification of the server up to this capacity. iSMART's unique in-memory spatial cache, however, greatly increases the number of users that may be supported and the performance of use of the Oracle database XE and can use additional RAM and CPU's to that already in use by the database.

iSMART5, together with Oracle database XE offers a very low cost rapidly deployable multi-user web based spatial application including viewing, editing, analysis, and management of spatial data and interoperability using Open Geospatial Web Services.
