Using the On-Premises Storage Service

The primary benefit of an on-premises storage service implementation is to keep the data stored on a server behind a firewall.

The Storage Service can be optionally be installed on the same machine used for ArcGIS Server, though if you do install it on the same machine, you must consider:

• The amount of disk space on the server to store all the GRRs.

• Each request to the Storage Service performs a read/write action to the disk, so the number of requests can impact CPU performance.

• The Storage Service requires IIS version 7.5 or higher.

• Microsoft’s ASP.NET 8.0.* Server with IIS is a requirement.

ASP.NET 8.0 Server

You can download Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core Runtime 8.0.* collection from their .NET download site. Microsoft also provides an overview of how to Host ASP.NET Core on Windows with IIS.

After you read about Microsoft’s  .NET Core Hosting Bundle, download the Windows Hosting Bundle.

After installing the ASP.NET Hosting Bundle:

1. Open IIS Manager.

2. Select Application Pools on the left.

3. To edit, click the DesignStorage pool.

4. Under .NET CLR version, choose No Managed Code.
