ArcSDE is an application server that facilitates storing and managing spatial data in a relational database management system. ArcSDE allows you to openly manage spatial data in one of four commercial databases (IBM DB2 Universal Database and Informix Dynamic Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle) and to serve ESRI's file-based data.
ArcSDE facilitates storing and managing spatial data (vector, raster, and survey) in the leading commercial relational database management systems (RDBMS). ArcSDE is open; it works with a variety of different databases and server environments—including IBM DB2 Universal Database and Informix Dynamic Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle—that scale from workgroups to large enterprise databases.
ArcSDE plays a fundamental role in a multiuser GIS. With ArcSDE, ArcEditor and ArcInfo can directly edit data stored in your RDBMS. ArcSDE also works as an application server delivering spatial data to desktop, Web-based, and mobile client applications and offering increased flexibility for load balancing.

The ArcSDE application server runs on Microsoft Windows NT and 2000, Linux, and the leading UNIX platforms including HP-UX, HP Tru64 UNIX, IBM AIX, and Sun Solaris. ArcSDE operates over any local area, wide area, or wireless Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network.
ArcSDE supports both a simple relational model of points, lines, and polygons and a sophisticated object model with support for intelligent features, rules, and relationships—the geodatabase. If the RDBMS provides native spatial types, ArcSDE will use them.
