Modular

GXL is a modular, scalable and flexible system with a unique parallel processing architecture that is ideally suited for large volume processing. Based on the Geomatica platform, GXL features a job processing system that manages data and processing servers in a dynamic and efficient manner. Large country wide mosaics or other custom workflows (based on over 550 algorithms available through the Geomatica platform) can be executed and scaled for rapid processing.
