[Mapserver-users] Mapserver vs. CubeServ

[Ed McNierney]

I would suggest asking the people who told you that CubeServ could do
the job more effectively.  There are certainly some of us using
MapServer for what we would consider "huge" amounts of data, serving
lots of maps, and we're not complaining.  But CubeServ is a product with
many different capabilities, so there are certainly "huge" data jobs for
which MapServer would be a BAD choice (at least all by itself).

You could also go to http://www.cubewerx.com and get information from
them.  Since they're a commercial company you should easily find a sales
rep who can talk to you about your project and their products.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Mapserver vs. CubeServ

Hi all,
 
I am using Mapserver for a while and it is so impressive to me :)  We
are going to handle a huge amount of data set every day and we heard
that CubeServ could do this in a more effective way than Mapserver.  I
want to know more about CubeServ for its performance, its workflow
compared with Mapserver, and its functionalities etc in order to do a
comparision with Mapserver.  But I couldn't find any detail information
about this on the internet or on the CubeWerx homepage.  And I don't
have a chance to use CubeServ myself.  So, I hope the experienced users
and experts could share their experience/expertise with us or point us
to a right way to gather more information so that we could understand
more about CubeServ.  And I also want to know how the CubeServ with
CubeStor compared with Mapserver using Oracle Spatial when handling huge
amount of data sets, too.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance!
