Envinsa Location Server Software - SGSI
Envinsa™ Location Server Software family from PBBI (MapInfo)

SGSI's perspective

 

Overview

The Envinsa™ product family, from PBBI (MapInfo), offers an integrated set of location-related server-based web services.   Announced in December 2003, Envinsa™ is both a set of currently shipping products and a road map for new web services software to come. 

The core set of Web Services offered now are:

  • Interactive web map server;

  • Geocoding server;

  • Tiling server incl. support for highly-dynamic "Web 2.0" map interfaces; and

  • Shortest-path routing server. 

Envinsa™, however, is more than a bundle of compatible server software.  It also includes IT-friendly security, installation, update, and application management features. 


Key features

Management console

  • Central installation and software update console.  Update both local and remote servers from one integrated Envinsa™ graphic user interface.
     

  • Transaction logging & reporting. 
    Monitor usage of servers in support of cross-departmental billing systems.
     

  • License only the modules you need now. 
    Use the Envinsa™ management console to "turn on" additional features later, only when you need them.

Web Services architecture:  WSDL/SOAP, XML & REST APIs ...

  • Standards compliant:  
    Envinsa™ is engineered to support the worldwide open software standards your need:  including GML, Open GIS, REST, WSDL, SOAP UDDI & XML.
     

  • Distributed server support: 
    Multiple departments to share server resources safely, yet system managers can monitor usage and security using Envinsa™ authentication and logging features.
     

  • Web services API: 
    Envinsa™ components communicate and co-exist with other web services, including non-MapInfo web services.

Java or .NET API:  You choose

  • Option 1:  Platform-independent Java-API for mapping, geocoding and routing suite.
     

  • Option 2:  Windows .NET-based API for mapping, geocoding and routing suite.

Time-tested code

  • Envinsa™ is not vaporware.
    Version 1 starting shipping in 2001, under the brand name miAware™.  The Envinsa™ name was adopted by MapInfo Corporation beginning with Version 3.
     

  • Key algorithms are the same. 
    Extends and integrates tried-and-true products such as MapXtreme™ map server, MapMarker© geocoding server, and Routing JServer™ for routing services.
     

  • Envinsa™ is built for the enterprise. 
    Launch customers were global companies with detailed acceptance standards:  Vodaphone (Europe) and MasterCard International (North America). 

Other built-in features

  • Reverse geocoding: 
    Look up nearest street address based on Latitude-longitude coordinates supplied by mobile phone or data terminal.
     

  • Buffering
    Create buffer zones around a location, street or other map object.  Then query for data that falls within the buffer zone.
     

  • Find the nearest:
    Starting with an x,y location, generated by the Envinsa™ Geocoder for example, find the nearest dealer or other points.
     

  • Point-in-Polygon:
    Starting with an x,y location, determine the map polygon within which it falls.
     

  • Drive time:
    Calculate the drive time or drive distance between points or a series of points.
