ERDAS ESSENTIALS Image Web Server
The Image Web Server technology was acquired as part of the ER Mapper acquisition undertaken by ERDAS in 2007. The market leading ability to deliver gigabytes of geographical imagery data has seen Image Web Server adopted globally by organisations who want a simple low cost solution to a massive geo-data problem.
The products strength lies in its simplicity and ability to run on very modest servers even with many concurrent users wanting to stream or access the data via the new WMS tiling capability that IWS can offer.
By taking advantage of the .ecw and jpeg2000 data format the IWS can deliver imagery data globally in seconds either into a web client or GIS client to support projects in ARC GIS, MapInfo, AutoCAD Map or Cadcorp.
Key elements of Image Web Server
- Maximize value and ROI by sharing the available imagery with your whole audience (staff, partners and customers)
- Simplify the management of image data (facilitate a central imagery repository while minimizing volume and management overheads). More time using, less time managing imagery
- Manage image services without disrupting your existing infrastructure
- Fast access to imagery. Quicker to get imagery served to people; quicker to view imagery
