ArcGIS Software Deployment Using External Hard Drives

Overview Since June 2001 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has deployed five major releases of ESRI software under various Enterprise License Agreements with ESRI. Until recently, ESRI has provided USGS with a limited number of CD/DVD media kits, which were then replicated and distributed to approximately 200 physical sites. The last and most recent release (ArcGIS 9.1) was accomplished using 80-gigabyte external hard drives loaded with all ESRI software commonly used in USGS. It's anticipated that the 200 external hard drives acquired for the deployment of version 9.1 will be reused for the next two major releases of ArcGIS.
