Generally speaking, "Anything GDAL/MapServer can read." I'd suggest that you want to set up MapServer as a WMS server, reading Raster Data: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data You'll then set up a WMS Server: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server > Is there some kind of image splitter that takes the big > image and splits it into tiles? Are you sure you want to od this? Generally, there's no need to: you can start by serving directly from the WMS, then if you need to, you can use TileCache to cache against a WMS on the fly (storing tiles in a local cache). If you really want to tile things ahead of time, gdal2tiles probably isn't a bad idea.
