Manifold includes hundreds of data formats and data sources, hundreds of military-grade, ultra high precision spatial algorithms, seamlessly integrated with incredibly fast GIS spatial data visualization, for the world's best GIS, all at one low price: only $145, fully paid. Manifold connects brilliantly to enterprise DBMS because Manifold itself is one of the most powerful DBMS packages ever created. Manifold was created from the ground up as the fastest desktop spatial database ever, handling terabyte data using fully parallel DBMS techology and the most sophisticated, fully articulated, automatically parallel spatial SQL query engine ever. The ability to use Manifold to supplement functions missing from other DBMS is amazingly powerful." - Corporate SQL Server setup, Forum post. It has replaced a slow ArcPy script of a few hundred lines with a few lines of SQL which achieve the same near instantaneously.
"Manifold's function works flawlessly, seamlessly piping the data from SQL Server, through the M9 function and the result back out to the table on SQL Server. Modern technology is way more efficient, so Manifold can deliver superior quality and performance at a much lower price, only $145, all within a single, clean, easy to use desktop package that installs and launches easier than Microsoft Excel. Most advanced parallel spatial database technology.Įnjoy superior spatial smarts in database work, and superior database smarts, like real SQL, in GIS. Manifold provides the best of both worlds: combining the world's most advanced GIS spatial technology with the world's It's so easy, it's so reliable." - Manifold user Say good-bye toįake SQL: enjoy the real thing with Manifold. Traditional DBMS and GIS tools come with painful tradeoffs: Classic DBMS tools provide great DBMS capabilities but are often limited by insufficient spatial know-how, difficult spatial workflow and challenging administration, while GIS tools like ESRI may work OK for visualization but are crippled by brutally primitive database infrastructure and It is what makes 9 so much easier to use than 8 and a host of other GIS's." - Forum post It is great in all things but the rendering speed really is the best thing from an every day use point of view. "Manifold 9's best feature is its wicked fast speed. Manifold is both a killer parallel DBMS and the world's most powerful GIS at the same time. Manifold combines the visual and spatial power of GIS with the massive data science power of built-in parallel DBMS: Easily accomplish what GIS alone or traditional DBMS tools cannot do. The 30000x22000 surface was merged and written to a new component in the project in an eye watering 3.5 seconds." - Forum post The Best of Both Worlds I merged some lidar tiles a while back in a project which already contained nearly half a TB of lidar data. Get it done right, and get it done fast with Manifold. No more crashes - Manifold can easily handle data that crushes ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, or QGIS. Keep up with the fastest Enterprise DBMS and run ahead of all others. Enjoy huge capacity and speed - hundreds of GB, even a terabyte, on your desktop.
Transform data in-place within existing storage or within Manifold. Connect to many sources at once to blend, prepare, extract, transform, load, analyze, validate, visualize andĮxplore your data. Tables, vector geometry, raster data, drawings, maps and images.
The same process on the same DEM using Manifold 9's distance toolset takes around 40 seconds per layer or 20 minutes for the 30 intervals." - Government user, computing flood levels (emphasis added) As I mentioned previously, this may then require fixing and a re-run of the process. "To process even one modest piece of down sampled LiDAR within my region in ArcMap took ~60 hours to produce the 30 inundation layers. Manifold is so fast that ESRI users can save hours by exporting data to Manifold, doing geoprocessing in seconds, and then importing back into ESRI. See the YouTube Video: Manifold does in nine seconds what takes ESRI's Spatial Analyst twelve minutes, running all the cores in your computer instead of just a few. Manifold delivers blistering speed with rock-solid reliability, even with big data. Manifold Release 9 is a new GIS that runs far faster, delivers superior data science capabilities, cuts through routine GIS tasks, and handles bigger data with better quality than ESRI or any other GIS, all at a lower cost of ownership than free alternatives, only $145, fully paid.
