Bleeding Edge GeoSpatial Solutions
NetGis acts in cooperation with itOpen WebGis development staff to bring you the well known high quality Open Source Geospatial software solutions:
Mapserver
Mapserver is a is an Open Source development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications.
Beyond browsing GIS data, MapServer allows you create "geographic image maps", that is, maps that can direct users to content
The new site is now online at mapserver.gis.umn.edu, it surely worth a visit if you need some other informations about this powerful technology.
Mapserver is our GIS engine of choice, it is flexible, configurable and fast!
PostGIS
Dynamic data should be stored in a database, but not all database backends are capable of handling geometric datasets. This is where PostGIS comes to the scene.
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.
The Operating System Glue
In order to achieve high standard performances even on high load conditions, we need a solid web server running on a solid operating system.
We develop our solutions on the most advanced Linux servers, getting the most out of the market leader Apache web server and the PHP5 scripting language.
