Key Benefits

  • Supports better decision-making based on timely access to dynamic, integrated views of geospatial data
  • Reduces development time and costs by eliminating the need for proprietary spatial interfaces
  • Ensures improved spatial data quality by reducing reliance on old and/or redundant data sources
  • Improves time-to-market for Web-enabled, distributed spatial data services
  • Allows developers to integrate services from many other map servers without regard to their capabilities or limitations

Cascading Map Servers - Brad Spencer, CubeWerx Australia

"The notion of chaining web services is not new but the application within a spatial context somewhat is. When chaining is applied at the OGC Web Map Server (WMS) level the concept of cascading WMSes presents additional options to the application and/or portal developer."

  

CubeSERV® Cascading Web Map Server (WMS)
 

A Scalable, Interoperable Platform for Serving User-Tailored Maps on the Internet

CubeSERV® Cascading Web Map Server is based on Open GIS Consortium Web Map Server 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.

CubeSERV® WMS can transform map layers from third-party map servers into a number of different projections and image formats, thereby offering an integrated and dynamic view of geospatial data in a distributed environment.

A stand-alone version of CubeSERV® WMS, i.e. a version that does not need CubeWerx' Spatial Data Warehouse solution (CubeSTOR®), is now available. This version can serve different types of files (SHAPE, Mid/Mif, etc.) stored on the Web server's hard drive onto the Internet.

Key Product Features
  • Provides capability to dynamically generate overlaid map views over the Web in distributed environments
     
  • Can cascade other OGC compliant Web Map Servers that comply to any WMS specification version
     
  • Transforms map layers from third-party map servers into a number of different projections and image formats, thereby offering an integrated and dynamic view of geospatial data in a distributed environment
     
  • Supports OGC's Styled Layer Description (SLD) specification
     
  • X.509 Certificate Management

  • Includes a configurable intelligent caching facility for retrieving and refreshing OGC Capabilities documents, SLDs and previously rendered maps 
     
  • Out-of-the-box integration with Google™ Earth to overlay your mapping data
     
  • Supports hundreds of spatial reference systems profiled under EPSG projections and datums and allows users to define custom projections
     
  • Supports access to dozens of vector and raster data formats (SHAPE, Mid/Mif, GEOTIFF, etc) and an API allows users to extend the server to support custom formats
