DAS offers the power of Geomatics and location-based analysis
DAS, powered by Statistics Canada, offers a framework for data analysts and scientists to access and leverage trusted geospatial data and tools in the Geospatial Analytics Environment (GAE). These secure cloud-based services offer many advantages.
Choose from easy-to-access open-source and ESRI GIS software.
Explore, analyze, and, develop insights about your geospatial data.
Create geo-enabled statistical data for analytics and visualization.
Create statistical models which incorporate geospatial data.
Integrate geospatial data to collaborate and share across DAS.
Create and share compelling geospatial visuals and stories.
Data storage
Manage, edit, share and backup
Azure PostgreSQL + PostGIS
A fully managed database engine that handles management functions such as upgrading, patching, backups, and monitoring without user involvement. PostGIS adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL.
Azure Blob/File share Storage
This solution for raster image storage or sharing data files includes object, file, disk, queue, and table storage. There are also services for hybrid storage solutions, and services to transfer, share, and back up data.
