We describe our experience with a pilot deployment of a virtual computer laboratory at a medium sized public university. The virtual computer laboratory pilot is a technology transfer of the virtual computer laboratory developed by North Carolina State University. The technology provides scalable, high performance computing resources requested through an internet browser and accessed through either a remote desktop connection or ssh client. This paper includes a brief review of virtualization, a review of instructional uses of virtualization, a description of “cloud” computing, the North Carolina State University implementation history, our pilot experience and lessons learned.
Keywords: cloud computing, VCL, virtualization, virtual lab, virtual machine
