- <p>stub page</p>
+ <p>The Apache VCL project.</p>
+<p>VCL, Virtual Computing Lab. Apache VCL, the first open-source private
cloud. </p>
+<p>The Apache VCL is a self-service system used to dynamically provision and
broker remote access to a dedicated compute environment for an end-user. The
provisioned computers are typically housed in a data center and may be physical
blade servers, traditional rack mounted servers, or virtual machines. VCL can
also broker access to standalone machines such as a lab computers on a
university campus.</p>
+<p>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 as simple as a virtual machine running
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 interconnected physical (bare metal) compute nodes.</p>
+<p>Using the scheduling API it can be used to automate the provisioning of
servers in a server farm or HPC cluster.</p>
