Unveiling upcoming GeoServer 2.2 release

Dear all,
we have created this post to share the slides from the presentation that Andrea Aime and Justin de Oliveira gave recently at the FOSS4G North America conference about the new feature that will be available in the upcoming 2.2 release of the GeoServer.

A lot of work has been performed since the first beta release of the 2.1 release, almost 2 years ago, quickly summarising some of the most interesting ones we can enumerate:

• improved WPS
• rendering transformation, to perform transformation on-the-fly during rendering
• improved security subsystem
• support for bigtiff
• support for oracle georaster
• support for TIME and ELEVATION in WMS and WCS

and many more.

For a complete cover of all these features, here you have the complete presentation.

GeoBatch Public Demo Available!

Dear All,
in this post we'd like to show the first very simple demo of the GeoBatch framework. We have set up a demo instance on our demo server side by side with a GeoServer instance so that user can perform:

1. Upload via FTP, preprocessing and ingestion in GeoServer in real-time of GeoTiff files
2. Upload via FTP, preprocessing and ingestion in GeoServer in real-time of Shapefiles

Additional details on how to play with the demo can be found in the slides here below:

We are going to update this demo frequently with new features. Just to mention some of them, in next version we will also add automatic metadata indexing in GeoNetwork. So, if you are interested, please check the GeoBatch site regularly and subscribe to the GeoBatch users' mailing list here.

If you have questions about the work described in this post or if you want to know more about our services could help your organization to reach its goals, do not hesitate to contact us.

GeoServer presentation @ FOSS4G 2009

Ciao a tutti,

I just got back from my after-FOSS4G vacation, therefore I wanted to publish the presentation I have given down there on our blog. My plan is to come up with an extended (or better, complete) version soon.

Enjoy,

Simone.

WMS Performance shoot-out @ FOSS4G

Lately, I have been helping out Ing. Andrea Aime with the tuning of GeoServer for the WMS performance shoot-out. I am pasting here below the latest announcement to spread the word about the event for which I will be one of the GeoServer representatives.

GeoServer, MapServer, and ArcGIS Server will be competing for the title of "Fastest Web Map Server (WMS)" at the FOSS4G 2009 conference at the end of October. The Web Mapping Performance Shoot-out compares Web Map Servers in a variety of real world use cases.

....

The performance shoot-out will see GeoServer, MapServer, and ArcGIS Server compared in terms of how long they take to generate a map image, from a common set of spatial data. The data formats used will be shapefile, geotiff, ECW, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, and SDE on Oracle. Benchmarking scripts will be executed on a common platform running Red Hat Linux.

GeoServer will be represented by Andrea Aime (OpenGeo) and Simone Giannecchini (GeoSolutions). "With the rapid expansion of GeoServer's capabilities each year, these benchmarking exercises are an excellent forum for us to test it in new and challenging ways," said Chris Holmes, Managing Director of OpenGeo and founder of the GeoServer project.

So, yeah, let's see how it goes, in the end we can't do worse than a branze medal!
