The ESO scientific computer facilities were moved into new rooms in the extension of the ESO Headquarters in Garching. The machines in the old computer room were disconnected and moved to the new location in the basement of the new wing on July 16. Since there is no large elevator down to the room, all big items like computer racks, disk drives and tape units had to be taken out of the building and lowered down by a crane as seen in Figure 1. The new computer room contains now most of the scientific computer equipment in ESO including the two VAX 8600 computers, the IHAP HP system, the database machine 10M 500, and the peripherals like disk drives, terminal multiplexer and DICOMED image recording unit (see Figure 2). The ESO archive will also be placed in this room which is fully air-conditioned and fire protected by a halon system. The magnetic tape drives are located in an adjacent room with general access. The user room is now also located in the new wing on the entrance level. All IHAP and MIDAS image processing workstations are placed there in addition to a number of public available terminals connected to the VAX's. Figure 3 shows the half of the user room which is dedicated to MIDAS stations. Furthermore, the main printing and plotting facilities are in a central section of the user room. The Image Processing Group has also moved to new offices just above the user room.
