14. Unrivalled Data Types

15. Bringing new possibilities
to your data.
Let's take a closer look at what FME:23 delivers to the
Enterprise.

16. 3
Deploy
Anywhere

17. Remote Engine
Service

18. Security
Meet Regulatory Compliance
and Security Concerns
Data remains in its secure
location
Increased
Efficiency
Process your data wherever it
resides
Deploy
Anywhere
Deploy processing anywhere
as part of one deployment.
(hybrid, multi-cloud, inter-cloud,
containers)

19. Data is
Distributed.
Make it easy to
process all data
where it resides.
Goal Block Key
Remote Engine Service
Result
Security or other
concerns may
make data
impossible to
move.
Processing must
move to the
data.
With Remote
Engine Service,
FME Flow can
move processing
anywhere

20. Remote Engine Service Benefits
Distributed Processing - Process data where it is faster.
Load Balancing - Distribute work across multiple machines easily.
Flexible Scaling - Quickly add processing where, when it is needed.
Disaster Recovery - Launch new machines to handle failures.
Enhanced Security - Data remains in its secure location when processed.
Access to Special Resources - Special machines for special requests.
● Choose Deployment separate from FME Server. Windows, Linux,
Containers, ARM, ...
● Special 3rd party software licenses (ArcGIS etc.)
