Hi Mike

Our experience with MapXsite and MapXtreme is that the performance is just incredible. 
One of our clients set up an application which accesses 6 GB of data (2.5 GB vector 
and 3.5 GB of raster) and the response times are all under one to two seconds on their 
Intranet (way faster then MapInfo itself). The response time mostly only depends from 
the size of the images returned, means basically only from the number of pixels and 
the content, so that response times on the internet only depend from your connection 
speed. To speed it up even more, we are currently developing a "dynamic" JavaScript 
front end (no "heavy" applets), which will be online in a few weeks. If you are 
interested to see that, just let me know.

I don't know to much about ArcIMS ... except that all the sites I visited up to date, 
their major feature is the "please wait routine", one site even stated "pls. be 
patient, might take few minutes ..." and it was like that, even with a 500kb speed 
connection ...

Regards

Flavio

MI Internet Mapping

2000-07-08 Thread mike james

Hi,

Hoping I could get some feedback on this issue.

I have seen MapXtreme Java in action and it looks terrific. Speed is
excellent, and it appears as if the administrative overheads are not
too large.

I know little about ArcIMS and I was wondering how it compare's with
MapXtreme Java?

Is anyone out there familiar with both or either?

Thanks in advance and I will sum.

Regards,
Mike
