UNIDATA: An AXP Workstation for the Earth and Environmental Sciences Laboratory

支持购买基于unix的服务器，为东北大学地球科学系的地球科学实验室（EESL）提供存储和计算支持。EESL是一个现代化的教学和研究设施，允许用户使用UNIDATA和地理信息系统（GIS）软件整合气象、地质和地理数据。这一要求是建立ESSL的三个建议之一。除了UNIDATA项目外，还向路易斯安那州、私人捐助者和NSF ILI项目发送了提案。其他（非工发数据组）的建议已获得成功。项目事务处认为工发数据协会的要求是其努力的最后阶段。服务器将允许ESSL高效运行并连接到互联网。利用所要求的设备，国家信息网络计划充当第二级节点，将实时数据分发给工发数据组。

Support is sought to purchase a UNIX-based server to provide storage and computational support for the Earth Science Laboratory (EESL) within the Department of Geosciences at Northeastern University (NLU). The EESL is a modern teaching and research facility which allows users to integrate meteorological, geological, and geographical data using UNIDATA and geographic information systems (GIS) software. This request is one of three proposals to establish the ESSL. In addition to the UNIDATA program, proposals were sent to the State of Louisiana, private donators and the NSF ILI program. The other (non-UNIDATA) proposals have been successful. The PIs consider the UNIDATA request as the final phase of their effort. The server will allow the ESSL to operate efficiently and be connected to the internet. Using the requested equipment, NLU plans to act as a second level node to distribute real time data to the UNIDATA community.
