ABOUT Apache VCL

The Apache VCL project.

VCL, Virtual Computing Lab. The VCL can be many things, foremost it is a open-source system used dynamically provision and broker remote access to a compute environment. These computers are typically housed in a data center, a physical blade server, a virtual machine or a standalone machine.

One of the primary goals of VCL is to deliver a dedicated compute environment to a user for a limited time through a web interface. This compute environment can range from something simple as a virtual machine running an productivity software to a machine room blade running high end software (i.e. a CAD,GIS,statistical package or an Enterprise level application) to a cluster of interconnect of interconnected physical (bare metal) compute nodes.
