Hello guys, we're a startup and new to mapserver. We're expecting large
amounts of data to come by (at least on our scale) around 40-60TB of
raster images for mapserver to render. My question is for the
infrastructure, what is the best way to store this (cost-efficiently)?
- Do we just get a dedicated server with a lot of HDDs? I'm looking at a
48TB setup in RAID 1+0 so i get 24TB right what happens now if we need
more? Also, how can we scale from the mapserver side? Is access to
different storage servers possible?
- I've considered SANs but then it's not practical right because only
one machine will access the storage?
- What about Amazon's S3? or EBS? Anything we can use on that?
I wish to get awesome advice on this storage issue, basically what the
considered best practice is for the mapserver people :P Thanks
