They're totally different formats.

However, Manifold does come with its own IMS. Haven't used it myself but I've heard it's pretty good. I would recommend looking around on the Manifold forums for some more background information.

It's pretty good until you have a 160 gig raster to store into a database then you run into a problem because you have 5 additional levels of raster files.

That would be hard for any software... I'd try splitting it a bit...

Exactly! But when you have it as ecw or in the db manifold ims will serve it pretty quickly :-)
