Hi,<div>The big advantage of tiling technologies is that you avoid data extraction and rendering on the server side. This implies less server load and higher performance. Disadvantages are that the tiles need to be pregenerated and style is predefined. You can find more information here: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/cedricmoullet/tiling-state-of-the-art-2010">http://www.slideshare.net/cedricmoullet/tiling-state-of-the-art-2010</a></div>
<div>For the site <a href="http://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=en">http://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=en</a>, tiles have been generated for about 50 layers. TileCache has been used and we didn't encounter any huge problems with it (about 200 millions tiles generated). </div>
<div>Since WMTS is now a standard OGC implementation standard, I would consider using it. Comparing to a TileCache tile structure, WMTS tile structure can be seen as an URL redirection. And OpenLayers supports this new standard. For example: <a href="http://map.geo.admin.ch/wmts.html">http://map.geo.admin.ch/wmts.html</a></div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div><div>Cédric</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 6:41 AM, Kalyan Kamepalli <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kalyan.kamepalli@gmail.com">kalyan.kamepalli@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<font color="#3333FF" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Could some one share me their Tile Cache experiences please. I want implement the same with WMS layer. I tried to browse some information on installation and configuration of cache.But, couldn't find any. How difficult is it to implement ? Is it as simple as using OpenLayers library ?? </font></div>
