Anotace: There are several options how to configure Web Map Service using several

map servers. GeoServer is one of most popular map servers nowadays.
GeoServer is able to read data from several sources. Very popular data
source is ESRI Shapefile. It is well documented and most of software
for geodata processing is able to read and write data in this format.
Another very popular data store is PostgreSQL/PostGIS object-relational
database. Both data sources has advantages and disadvantages and user
of GeoServer has to decide which one to use. The paper describes
comparison of performance of GeoServer Web Map Service when reading
data from ESRI Shapefile or from PostgreSQL/PostGIS database.
