<h1 class="title">What is VCL?</h1>
<p>VCL stands for Virtual Computing Lab. It is a free & open-source
cloud computing platform with the primary goal of delivering dedicated, custom
compute environments to users.</p>
-<p>This compute environments can range from something as simple as a virtual
machine running productivity software to a cluster of physical servers running
HPC simulations. </p>
-<p>The user interface consists of a self-service web portal. Using the
portal, users choose which customized environment they want to use and make
reservations.</p>
+<p>This compute environments can range from something as simple as a virtual
machine running productivity software to a cluster of powerful physical servers
running complex HPC simulations.</p>
+<p>The user interface consists of a self-service web portal. Using the
portal, users select from a list of customized environments and make
reservations.</p>
<p>Behind the scenes, the scheduling components built into the web portal
determine which compute resources to assign to the reservations. The requested
environment is then dynamically provisioned, secured, and configured to allow
remote access by the user.</p>
+<p>The user then remotely connects to the remote compute environment using
remote desktop, SSH, or any of the other supported protocols.</p>
<p>VCL supports provisioning several different types of compute resources
including physical bare-metal machines, virtual machines hosted on several
different hypervisors, and traditional computing lab computers you would
normally find on a university campus.</p>
