NASA, NSF and other groups, both in the US and abroad, are developing an infrastructure for unified access to the wide range of heliophysics data products needed to respond to our evolving space mission set and research needs. This infrastructure will expand on existing services and use new computer technologies. The environment will continue to be distributed but integrated through the creation of virtual observatories. Starting in 2001, NASA sponsored the development of the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) and the Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO). Drawing upon the successes of these projects, NASA selected in 2006 five new "VxOs" spanning the heliosphere, the Earth's magnetosphere and radiation belts, and ITM regions. These projects are now underway, as are the NSF sponsored VSTO, the Canadian GAIA, the European EGSO, and the Japanese STARS as well as other service and data oriented projects. This paper will introduce existing and planned VOs, their attributes, data sources, the SPASE data model intended to unite them, and the communities served. In addition to providing search and access capabilities, the VxOs will enable value-added services by allowing machine access to a wide variety of datasets.
