Hello guys, we're a startup and new to mapserver. We're expecting large amounts of data to come by (at least on our scale) around 40-60TB of raster images for mapserver to render. My question is for the infrastructure, what is the best way to store this (cost-efficiently)? - Do we just get a

Hi, I would personally recommend against AWS S3/EBS for anything of this scale as the I/O is pretty pathetic unless you invest in their very high end instances. We've set up a 4TB 'SAN' using glusterfs on AWS EC2 using 1TB EBS volumes and separate instances for each - the performance has been

All, I'm working on a similar project currently. Setting up 50tb of storage, we went the route of multiple CPUs, with large disks. Redundant raid config, so half of physical disk available for storage. We're in the 30+tb of real storage across a 4U setup right now. Cost (with

There are ways to use S3 as the store for source images by using tools like s3fs (FUSE-based file system backed by Amazon S3) and writing front end code the intercepts the incoming WMS request, filters using a grid, then routes to the appropriate EC2 MapServer instance. This allows particular

Thank you for the prompt replies so far! : ) @Mark Great, that's the first time I heard about that method. I'm doing a reality check here haha sadly I dont think we can do that kind of work as of now (skill-wise) and money is an issue as well as EC2 instances cost so much more for small

I think current S3 pricing for 50TB at 0.125/GB comes to about 6250/month.  That is for Designed for 99.9% Durability. I can't even count that many 9s. I know you can buy HDs for about $50/TB = $2500 for that 50TB. Assuming you replace them all once a year its still only $5000. But we

@Mark Yes, so big of a difference. HDDs dont even fail often : ) What can you say about our current plan: Assuming we need 10TB of storage, We get a dedicated server somewhere on a reputable provider like SoftLayer the max HDDs they can put in a single box is 24 so assuming we get 2TB HDDs

now we have some real numbers. reputable provider 10TB/$1800 Amazon S3 10TB/$1250 Amazon EBS 10TB/$1000 its not that simple a comparison. but looking at those numbers and knowing that with AWS you can run everything else as a function of need (EC2,LB,SQS,mail services... etc etc) AWS starts

A correction about the dedicated machine price: that's for 48TB = 24HDDs x 2TB each which is the max they can put on one single machine but you dont get any sort of redundancy that way so youd probably do RAID 1+0 for the added I/O speed and safety but you only get 24TB so that's 24TB for

I don't have actual numbers handy to back this up, but a rough comparison from what we observed rendering relatively complex maps was that EBS storage was perhaps 2-4 as slow as a local dell desktop running linux with eSATA 1TB drives (not high end hardware for sure). Using glusterfs was 8+
