Logical overview (continued)

• Due to bandwidth limitation (2 Mbits/sec) the
  PACS level 0 products will be regenerated at MPE,
  KUL and NHSC. Hence the Versant database systems
  need to be propagated to MPE, KUL and NHSC.
• The database systems and PAL pools in the
  internal reference area will contain all data
  necessary for the PACS ICC to support operations.
  Of this data not all data might be copied to the
  public area due to security/protection issues.
