Using the On-Premise 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 installed on the same machine used for ArcGIS Server, but it does not need to be. 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.

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

• The Storage Service requires IIS version 7.5 or higher.

• the ASP.NET 8.0.* server with IIS requirement. The ASP.NET 8.0.* installer is provided by Microsoft.

  You can read more at their .NET Core Hosting Bundle page. Microsoft also provides an overview of how to Host ASP.NET Core on Windows with IIS. You can download the ASP.NET Core Runtime 8.0.* collection of downloads from Download .NET 8.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) (microsoft.com). Then download the Windows Hosting Bundle. After installing the ASP.NET Hosting Bundle:

  1. Open IIS Manager.

  2. From the left hand menu, click Application Pools.

  3. Click the DesignStorage pool to edit.

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