database management operations. This also removes the need
of separate solutions for some GIS and business applications.
For traditional remote sensing and GIS applications, specialized
image processing packages and GIS solutions are still required.
However, such third party solutions can also benefit greatly in
performance from this analytics engine by pushing some basic
data processing and filtering operations into the database so that
less data is retrieved and transported into the client for further
processing and analysis.
