ODU Virtual Computer Lab

The Virtual Computer Lab is a software system designed by North Carolina State University that can provide 7 X 24 X 365 computer access to applications and systems for anyone that has access to a basic computer. The system was released by NCSU to the Apache Foundation as Open Source and is being used at ODU.

The VCL is a remote access system that allows you to reserve a "virtual computer" with the desired operating system and applications for your coursework, and remotely access it via the Internet. The system has all the widely used applications at the University that can be made available, such as SAS, Matlab, SPSS, GIS and others.
