[mapserver-users] experience with jp2000 libraries

[Peter Freimuth]

Hi Mapserver Community,
i have to evaluate the different options for using JP2000 with mapserver
6.x. I have to create a fast WMS that streams 350-400GB of RGB satellite
data (~1000 350MB uncompressed GeoTiffs images) and for this i have to
evaluate options to reduce the filesize on the storage system to
minimize the IO for mapserver to read the data from the storage system.
JP2000 seems to be a good option but i would like to know if it makes
sense to purchase a Kakadu license or if the JasPer based solutions
offers similar results. LZW is somehow not working. Files are getting
bigger than in uncompressed mode. Any idea why this happens?
Any info is highly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Peter
