Serving Rasters with Geoserver

Presenter: Cliff Patterson, PhD (CEO Luna Geospatial, Inc.)
Geoserver offers the ability to share raster data on the web using various standardized web services (e.g. WCS, WMS, etc.). In this webinar, we will introduce participants to (1) the process of optimizing different types of rasters for Geoserver, (2) adding different types of raster stores to Geoserver, and (3) sharing/consuming web services. More specifically, this webinar will discuss:
- Optimizing rasters using GDAL and QGIS using best practices.
- Optimizing and serving DEMs.
- Serving various types of rasters, namely GeoTIFF, Geopackage mosaic, and Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COGS).
- Consuming raster data via WMS, WMTS, WCS, and TMS.
- Cascading remote WMS/WMTS endpoints.
- Creating group layers in Geoserver.
- Caching raster layers using GeoWebCache.
- Securing raster layers in Geoserver.

This is really good content!

I want to point out that you explained you are using ortho linear tiles. When I follow the link I am presented with data in mrsid format. This introduces another step that is not mentioned here or am I confused? Getting the mrSid for any county in Ohio is fairly straightforward. Now I want to serve that overhead data to our mapping application via wms. How do we go from the sid file to geotiff to be able to even build the vrt? I have tried condensing it into a Geo package but that was still 1/3rd the size. Sid file was 35Gb Geo package was 15Gb, and after two hours of these videos which are helpful but haven't introduced any more information into solving this particular issue. I have a 35GB sid file that I would like to serve both to our application via wms. Preferably without it taking hours to serve 15GB over the internet. I keep hearing the work geotiff but have yet to see one unless you zoom all the way in and download each individual geotiff file. Can you help?

nvm heard you say you wrote a scrip to get the individual tiles. there has to be a way to extrapolate the tiffs from the already provided sid format or is this only available via arc map enterprise?
