Virtual Computing Laboratory (VCL)
: is an open source implementation of a secure
production level on-demand utility computing and services oriented technology for
accessing wide-area to solutions based on virtualized resources including computational
resources, storage and software. VCL pilots are
implemented with a number of universities
around the world. The VCL implementation [38] has
most of the characteristics and
functionalities and is considered desirable in an e
ducational cloud computing. Functionally,
it has a large intersection with Amazon Elastic Cloud [23].
