The architecture consists of a variety of network functions that 

 operate the overall control of IDBMS and the primary input 

 data and data/product dissemination. Gateway functionsprotect 

 the core data storage and the client access. Central server 

 functions access and manage data ingest, temporary data storage 

 cataloging, and data backup. .'Another type of server controls 

 the off-line and archive storage of data, as well as acting as a 

 repository for application development and model library 

 functions. The physical architecture of E)BMS consists of Sun 

 Microsystems SPARC-servers, on-line RAID storage, a large- 

 scale computer server, and high-density magnetic tape silo 

 storage all interconnected through information system gateways, 

 local and wide area networks. 



,?. FINDINGS 



The findings relative to the integrated database m^fflapo^t 

 system (IDBMS) are: 



• IDBMS shculd be the primary tool to allow externa] users 

 to interface with NAVOCEANO's ocesacgraphic and 

 geophysioai capabilitifts.
