Description
Summary:Virtual computing laboratories are widely implemented in universities, especially to support teaching and research in areas such as engineering, computer science, and information assurance. Most existing labs that support teaching or a combination of teaching and research are internally implemented and managed. Some universities are considering migrating their in-house labs into the cloud using solutions provided by multiple vendors. This paper explores the practical aspects of such a migration and describes costs, benefits, and challenges.
