New ITS Partnership brings Virtual Computing to Davidson
ITS is pleased to announce the pilot implementation of a Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) environment for Davidson College's academic community. Made possible through a new ITS partnership with North Carolina State University (NCSU), VCL is an open-source cloud computing platform developed by NCSU using the Apache Foundation's Virtual Computing Lab software. The platform is widely used at a number of R1 institutions, including Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill universities.
Wildcat Bytes - Online Store for Used College Computers
The process for buying used computer hardware from the College has changed. Rather than having announced sales once or twice a year, we will now sell used hardware through an online store, Wildcat Bytes. The inventory (Apple and Dell desktops, laptops, monitors and peripherals) will be updated as computer equipment is retired from campus use.
