Project Details
- "The MAGIC project comprises three principal components: an interactive terrain visualization application (TerraVision), a high-speed distributed image storage system (ISS), and a high-speed internetwork to link the computing resources."
- "TeraVision allows a user to view and navigate through a landscape based on high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery."
- "The MAGIC internetwork consists of several LANs interconnected by a wide-area ATM over SONET backbone. The network provides trunk speeds of 2.4 Gbps and access speeds of 155 and 622 Mbps."
