[Mapserver-users] Are there UMN MapServer performance experiences, hard- and hoftware recommendations ?

[Ed McNierney]

Sebastian -

Yes, one can certainly make such recommendations, and MapServer systems certainly can - and do - support large, efficient, and stable systems.  Large-scale design is VERY highly dependent on the nature and organization of the data, and on the usage patterns for that data.  If you'd like assistance that's more than just very generic advice, you'll need to be as specific as possible in describing your application.

The first step is a good information design, with your data organized and stored optimally.  Taking whatever data organization and usage model you happen to have, and then trying to throw hardware at it to make it go fast, is an expensive and frustrating experience.

Dear list.

Do hardware and software recommendations exist to implement an efficient and stable system, which answers daily several thousand map-requests and which accesses large amount of vector and raster data?

Does anybody have performance-experiences in implementing a cascading wms?

Also comparisons would interest me concerning the perfomance between UMN MapServer, deegree framework and the ESRI ArcIMS! 

Thank you, Sebastian Boelling
