The recent explosion of data quantity and complexity has lead to the need for a new way to make data available, the virtual observatory. The Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) provides a versatile means for solar physicists to discover and share the growing sources of data. We present the development of the VSO, show the system in action and discuss how data users and data providers can benefit from it.
