LizardTech Express Server enables you to serve more users in less time using widely adopted standards and familiar tools - all without adding hardware or buying more bandwidth.

Save Time
In panning and zooming, scenes resolve instantly in MrSID, JPEG 2000 and NITF images served by Express Server. That's because only the pixels the user needs are extracted and delivered as users navigate an image.

Interoperability and Industry Support
Express Server supports industry-standard file formats and open standards such as MrSID, JPEG 2000 and NITF. In addition, Web Map Service (WMS) support in Express Server means WMS-enabled clients can integrate your Express Server image repositories with WMS-compliant geospatial data stores in the world. Your imagery plays globally, while locally you leverage the fastest raster delivery technology available.

Complete Geospatial Solution
As part of LizardTech's line of software products for geospatial workflows, Express Server is built to leverage the benefits of the MrSID and JPEG 2000 wavelet encoded formats for speed and visual quality and to work seamlessly with GeoExpress, Spatial Express, and the ExpressView Browser Plug-in. Using GeoExpress you can crop, mosaic, color balance, reproject and compress your image data to the industry standard MrSID or ISO standard JPEG 2000 format. With Spatial Express that imagery can be natively stored in and retrieved from an Oracle database. Express Server can deliver MrSID and JPEG 2000 imagery from Oracle, enhance ArcGIS Server's raster handling functionality, rapidly distribute imagery to any WMS-enabled client such as Google Earth over any connection. And imagery served by Express Server can be viewed in standard Web browsers or - to add extra functionality - in the ExpressView Browser Plug-in. From beginning to end LizardTech geospatial software makes sense for your workflow.

Visual Quality
The wavelet-based MrSID, and JPEG 2000 formats enable high compression of images while retaining high resolution and making labor- and storage-intensive image pyramids unnecessary.
