That would reduce the complexity a lot. It would be *just* 80 files. I probably don't even need a separate then in folder. I could also generate pyramids overlay on those. That would increase the data storage a little:

80 files
80x720x360x250x2x2=20736000000

Does anybody advocate Geoserver, Mapserver, ArcServer, Imageserver, tile cache, openlayers or others? Or should I use raster or database for that?

I think the subject of this thread is the real problem?
Raster DATA. Raster information is only images. They require some sort of processing to extract any data from them? Data overlays for raster images will help to provide methods of searching for features and then displaying the correct area of the raster image? Timestamp data to identify a sequence of images would also be best stored in a database, with features and locations extracted from particular images stored along with links to the correct raster image. So the raster images are stored as files, and the data relating to them in a database?
