I would like to display the entire world wide open street map data via Mapnik which is pointing to this world wide data on postgres/postgis.
The web clients will be sending WMS requests to display the open street map data via Mapnik OGC server. I have successfully prototyped the above for just the open street map data within Australia. Now I would like to import the entire world into postgres/postgis and then eventually have open street map as our base layer for our GIS production application. I would like to know what are generally the bottlenecks for performance when rendering open street map world wide data via Mapnik OGC server such as: a.) Number of CPU's b.) Amount of RAM c.) Speed of RAM d.) Hard drive speed/size e.) CPU speed f.) Type of server Windows or Linux g.) anything else that I missed? Which item(s) above would normally be the bottleneck? Thanks, John -- John J.
