Hosting and Security
Catalyst GIS Core is a cloud-native solution hosted entirely within New Zealand for reliability and data sovereignty. Our cloud provider of choice is the Catalyst Cloud, a wholly New Zealand based public cloud provider, and CNCF Certified Kubernetes provider.
Catalyst Cloud provides high service levels and excellent technical support at competitive prices, allowing us to offer GIS at a reduced price, reduced latency and increased data security.
As a fully managed solution, GIS Core receives minor and security updates released automatically, and we will work with you for significant upgrade work.
Open Source
Catalyst GIS Core is entirely built on mature, enterprise-grade open source software. For you, this means that you benefit from software which has been developed, tested and used by GIS professionals, governments agencies and enterprises around the globe.
You are free to modify and customise your application, develop additional workflows and processing services or add further applications using our software and GIS experts, or your preferred GIS vendor or in-house capability.
Our GIS platform scales with your requirements, from stand-alone projects for individual teams and small organisations, to powering an organisation’s entire spatial data infrastructure. Let's talk about what GIS Core can do for you.
