<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>HI folks,<BR>
With the increasing sharing of GIS data on net, our institution is also taking a
plunge in it. We have some GIS data in ESRI shapefile format. The requirement is
to make this data available to users through net. Since this is not for any
commercial purpose we won't be able to make use of the costly softwares like
ArcIMS or Autodesk Mapguide for this project. I am looking for a cost effective
solution to acheive this. I understand that I'll have to use an application
server, a databse server and a spatial server. Can anyone please suggest me a
right combination which is cost effective. I certainly don't expect a large of
number of hits on my site but it should be reliable. Will any opensource
solution suffice my requirement ? There are so many opensource/free solutions
mentioned on the site that, its confusing as which one I should consider.
<BR>Thanks in anticipation<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
