Terapix system is within the IAP network.

All the machines have a 100 megabit ETHERNET card. Some have also a gigabit ETHERNET card. The Terapix machines are in a switched area (using a 10/100 megabit switch), allowing heavy use of network transfert.

Here is a logical drawing of the network for TERAPIX.

Future plans

 fibre channel device could be installed to avoid ethernet bottle neck
 Gigabit Ethernet technology : switch giga/100mega
 NAS at gigabit
