update: WMS Performance Shootout at FOSS4G 2009
As you previously could read on this blog, there’s a WMS performance shootout at FOSS4G 2009. Participants where three of the major WMS server providers: UMN MapServer, GeoServer and – finally- ESRI with ArcGIS Server. But yesterday, the announcement was made on the benchmark mailing list of FOSS4G that ESRI won’t play along any more, they pulled out apparently. First this was posted on the list, and soon this response from somebody from ESRI was posted.
To bad that ESRI pulled out, I was really looking forward to this shootout… does this mean that ArcGIS Server cannot compete against GeoServer and MapServer? Anyway, I’m wondering what the official announcement will be from ESRI.
