Hexagon launches M.App Chest cloud app

Hexagon Geospatial has officially launched M.App Chest, a cloud-based application associated with Hexagon Smart M.App.

In September, Hexagon Geospatial introduced the M.App Chest Early Access Program, which provided an opportunity for users to test out the new cloud-based innovation for storing, managing and distributing large volumes of geospatial data.

M.App Chest provides a means to quickly upload, organize and share imagery and point cloud data in the cloud. It also provides optional compression capabilities along with streaming and delivery via web services.

“Since 2003, we have created the equivalent of five exabytes of data. Clearly, today’s organizations need the right tools for managing and leveraging high volumes of data,” said Mladen Stojic, President of Hexagon Geospatial. “M.App Chest provides a better experience for easily uploading, storing and sharing geospatial data in ways that can transform any organization.”

Following are key features and benefits of M.App Chest:

• View M.App Chest Data Online: The free M.App Reader allows users to view data online with interactive roam and zoom tools. Data from M.App Chest can also be consumed into other applications via web services.
• Availability and Access: M.App Chest flexibly ingests a variety of data types and provides secure data access, even to teams who are dispersed across the globe.
• Big Data Support: M.App Chest supports large files and provides advanced compression, helping to solve Big Data problems.
• 360-Degree Geospatial Content Management: Manage data, including business data like documents, spreadsheets, and multimedia files, all in the same secure cloud-based system.
• No Installation: No installation is required. Users can sign up, and pay as they go.
