GeoServer is an open source server for sharing geospatial data. It is often used to publish shapefiles and PostGIS tables (Vector data), ArcGrid and GeoTiff (Raster data). Moreover, it also allows for configuration of (cascading) remote WMS. Deltares maintains its own instance of GeoServer here. Data layers from GeoServer can be exposed in via WMS/WFS in many standard formats for subsequent public use.
This tutorial refers to GeoServer <stable> version 2.8.2. Since the stable version of GeoServer does not allow ingestion of NetCDF as input Coverage Format, Geoserver Extension can be installed from http://geoserver.org/release/2.8.x/.
