CubeSERV® Web Map Tile Server (WMTS)
The fastest, most efficient way to serve maps on the Internet
CubeSERV® Web Map Tile Server is based on Open GIS Consortium specifications. It provides a powerful tool for publishing spatial information and integrating distributed map data on the Web using standard Web browsers and existing HTTP protocols..
The tile creation process is backed by CubeWerx’ comprehensive image processing and symbology engines, allowing tiles to be created using OGC Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) documents. Multiple tile sets may be created from the same data, to respond to different symbology or map projection requirements.
Our WMTS engine generates tiles from many formats and stores them in file system directories. A database manager like Oracle is not required for an operational deployment of the CubeSERV WMTS product.
The idea behind the OGC WMTS specification effort was to come up with an open interface that can scale to large number of users, generate maps in a fraction of the time it takes to generate maps with OGC compliant WMS servers, and become interoperable in an SDI environment composed of many WMTS clients and many WMTS servers. The OGC WMTS is not a replacement for the OGC WMS because it offers far less flexibility then what can be achieved by an OGC WMS server. But in many cases, as demonstrated by Google and others, using map tiles become an efficient way of delivering maps.
