In this paper, we characterize a visualization environment that his been designed and prototyped for a large community of scientists and engineers. The proposed environment makes use of a visualization server concept to provide effective, interactive visualization to the user's desktop. Benefits of using the visualization server approach are discussed. Some thoughts regarding desirable features for visualization server hardware architectures are also addressed. A brief discussion of the software environment is included. The paper concludes by summarizing certain observations which we have made regarding the implementation of such visualization environments.
