Map Suite WMS Server Edition

Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.

Map Suite WMS Server Edition is the fastest and easiest way to set up a high-performance, scalable and standards compliant Web Map Service (WMS). With Map Suite WMS Server, you can create a cloud-based, load-balanced map service that can be consumed by any client application that supports WMS, including clients built with Map Suite GIS components.
