The UCLA Virtual World Data Server (VWDS) is a terabyte data server with a clustered architecture based on commodity PCs. It provides data storage for multiple, simultaneous, high- performance clients running different multimedia and virtual world applications. It serves the data on demand, in real time, with a pre-negotiated data transfer rate. UCLA is currently running two prototype servers and building a large VWDS for campus use.
