VCL - Virtual Computing Lab

This may be new news to our public-at-large, but we have been working closely with ITS's Research Computing group helping them pilot the virtual computing lab for the past few months. The VCL is a cloud resource where desktop images with specific research applications can be scheduled that provision the hardware resources on an as-needed basis. We are currently working with the people testing the following images:

MPlus

ArcGis

ArcInfo

SAS

NMIM

We have other applications slated to go such as Stata 10, SPSS. For more information regarding this project please feel free to email sbalen@email.unc.edu
