Norcross, Georgia, USA — ERDAS announces the release of ERDAS TITAN Web Cache Servers, adding performance to data sharing within ERDAS TITAN 2008. Recently released, ERDAS TITAN is a dynamic online solution that allows users and communities to share geospatial data, web services and location-based content internally and externally to an organization, and to a variety of client applications.

When implemented, Web Cache Servers enhance the performance of an ERDAS TITAN GeoHub. A Web Cache Server scales as a function of data volume and users, and supports large numbers of users over a broad geography.  Supporting secure, permission-based data distribution, a GeoHub enables an organization to participate as a community in the ERDAS TITAN Network. A GeoHub can support an unlimited number of Web Cache Servers, which may be located in different geographic locations than the GeoHub they serve.

Complete with intuitive navigation tools, ERDAS TITAN empowers users to share imagery, terrain, 3D models, location-based content, feature datasets and web services, while retaining digital ownership rights.  Using the free web-enabled ERDAS TITAN Client, which includes the ERDAS TITAN Viewer and Geospatial Instant Messenger, a global network of users interact, download and share data.  Users then create a MyWorld, a geographically enabled personal space to upload data, set permissions and share content with other users in the network. 

“ERDAS TITAN Web Cache Servers improve the performance of implemented GeoHubs, thereby rapidly increasing the speed in which data may be shared,” said Mladen Stojic, Senior Vice President, Product Management and Marketing, Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging.  “Creating a geospatial data bridge between authorized authors and consumers of data, a TITAN GeoHub provides a high level of security and versatility for any organization interacting with large quantities of data.”
