Norcross, Georgia, USA — ERDAS announces the release of ERDAS TITAN Web Cache Servers, adding performance to data sharing within ERDAS TITAN 2008. Recently released, ERDAS TITAN is a dynamic online solution that allows users and communities to share geospatial data, web services and location-based content internally and externally to an organization, and to a variety of client applications.
When implemented, Web Cache Servers enhance the performance of an ERDAS TITAN GeoHub. A Web Cache Server scales as a function of data volume and users, and supports large numbers of users over a broad geography. Supporting secure, permission-based data distribution, a GeoHub enables an organization to participate as a community in the ERDAS TITAN Network. A GeoHub can support an unlimited number of Web Cache Servers, which may be located in different geographic locations than the GeoHub they serve.
Complete with intuitive navigation tools, ERDAS TITAN empowers users to share imagery, terrain, 3D models, location-based content, feature datasets and web services, while retaining digital ownership rights. Using the free web-enabled ERDAS TITAN Client, which includes the ERDAS TITAN Viewer and Geospatial Instant Messenger, a global network of users interact, download and share data. Users then create a MyWorld, a geographically enabled personal space to upload data, set permissions and share content with other users in the network.
“ERDAS TITAN Web Cache Servers improve the performance of implemented GeoHubs, thereby rapidly increasing the speed in which data may be shared,” said Mladen Stojic, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Marketing, Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging. “Creating a geospatial data bridge between authorized authors and consumers of data, a TITAN GeoHub provides a high level of security and versatility for any organization interacting with large quantities of data.”

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.What message are we sending to senior level decision makers about the importance and value of Spatial Data Infrastructure - SDI - if we keep misrepresenting what SDI is or is all about?
In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
