I am new to WMS, so bear with my ignorance please. I have a service that processes imagery and outputs large TIFF + World file images (5-40 MB), and some shapefiles. Currently these images have no pyramid or tiling. I would like to further make the images web map friendly and my thought is that WMS and MapServer is the way to go. We will likely be creating dozens or perhaps hundreds of these images per day. This needs to run on Windows alongside or within IIS.
So I have a volley of questions for anyone who might have answers. Feel free to skip any: 1. Can MapServer even do this, that is, host several large images and allow new ones to be added on the fly via the api? 2. Can each image be a map layer or does each image need its own mapserver instance? 3. Does the OSGeo4W include utilities to tile and pyramid the images or do I have to arrange for that myself?
