The MAGIC Telescopes produce around 300 TBytes of raw data per year that arepre-processed on-site at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, andthen transferred to the MAGIC Data Center at Barcelona, for storage,processing and internal data access by MAGIC users. MAGIC Data Center issupported by Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE), UniversidadComplutense de Madrid (UCM), Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA) andUniversitat Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), and hosted by Port d'Informació Científica (PIC), Barcelona. We discuss here the possibilities that the MAGICData Center offers for the data handling, as well as the undergoingmodifications aimed at further improvement of its performance. In addition, wediscuss the accessibility of the MAGIC data to the wide scientificcommunity. Aside from providing all its published data in a format widelyaccepted by the astronomical community (FITS), the MAGIC collaboration iscurrently in the process of adapting these data to the standards required bythe International Virtual Observatory. This will put MAGIC published results on the international network of astronomical data and make them available to the whole scientific community.
