The SunSparc machine works as the network, data transfer, web, and mail server. Chemical data and images from all instruments directly output to the computers that are etherneted through an Alantec Intelligence Switch Box. Therefore, the large image data can be transferred at a faster speed within the lab. The lab also has variety of data storage devices, including Iomega zip-100, SyQuest 105, Syquest 270, and FWB hammerCDR 4x CD recorder. Data can be sent out to and retrived from users' site through network easily.
Users also can bring blank CD or disks of external removable drivers for their data transferation.
