ArcGIS geodatabases

At the heart of any good Enterprise GIS system lives a clean, tidy and performant enterprise geodatabase. The geodatabase is the core of a strong GIS system; without data, you have nothing.

There are enterprise geodatabases, workgroup geodatabases, file geodatabases, and personal geodatabases. More info here. Esri also released the Geodatabase Resources hub; check it out here.
