Help Pave Path to Mars


With the capability to handle over ten million hits a day, Mars Web Engineer Kirk Goodall put Silicon Graphics at the top of the list of available mirror sites.

"In many ways, Silicon Graphics carried the day during the landing. They had the single greatest number of hits per day of any mirror site," said Goodall.

Over a three-week period, the Mars site and its mirror sites received more than 650 million hits, more than 20 million at the Silicon Graphics mirror site.
