Introduction
The SILK (Secure Internet LinKed) Web technologies allow users to create and run their own Web servers using NIH Data Center hardware and software. Web pages can be easily uploaded from desktop computers and all server management is performed by the owner via a Web browser. Even data stored on the NIH Data Center's mainframe system can be made available for Web access.
The SILK facility is of tremendous importance to NIH Data Center users. Now they can have data immediately accessible on the Web. In addition, there are many enterprise applications that are available through a Web interface and users can build their own Web-based applications.
SILK Web technology—which incorporates a platform-independent view of servers, applications, and data—provides robust, state-of-the-art capabilities to the NIH enterprise environment in an uncomplicated and inexpensive manner.
