Hi,
It´s been a while since I last wrote in the forum. During this time I have
changed my employer and therefore my mapping environment. In my last post I
built my own GDI myselft consisting of 100% opensource server applications
-Linux Ubuntu/Tomcat6/PostgreSQL8.4/PostGIS1.5/Geoserver2.2. My new employer
now uses 100% ESRI ArcGIS Server their Extensions. It is a strange feeling
being locked into a proprietry world after feeling so free. The other thing
that astonishes me is how easy geoserver is in a linux environment and how
unlogical everything is in a windows server environment with ArcGIS Server.
It is however still early days, and I´m sure that in 6 months after I have
learned the ins and outs or Windows Server and ArcGIS Server I may say the
opposite.
I would like to know if anyone has also experienced this, and whether they
actually changed their ESRI System to a FOSS System with Geoserver. Also, has
anyone had experience integrating ArcGIS Server with OpenSource Mapping
Software?
I would love to get rid of my ESRI Stack and start a new FOSS GDI, but the
initial set-up costs of the ESRI Infrastructure would make it rather hard to
explain.
Thanks for any replies,
Rob
