The Product Data Network and Distributed Data System: Node configuration

Hall, R.C.

Prototype systems have been established which prove the concept and utility of supporting distributed access to shared Product Test Data from Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and General Electric Neutron Devices (GEND) using existing network communications facilities. It is essential, however, that adequate control (audit and isolation) be present as intrinsic characteristics of this connectivity in the production environment. A plan has emerged to put into place a configuration which provides required network functionality, yet preserves the necessary control. This configuration supports further development of a Product Data Network containing a Distributed Data System. We anticipate a complete ''black hat'' assessment of the final plan and configuration which results from these efforts. 3 figs.
