Beginnings

Development of The Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) started in 2004 as a joint venture of the College of Engineering (COE) and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) to efficently use hardware investments and to provide remote access to a wide range of advanced compute requirements by both NCSU students, faculty, and researchers.

With the ongoing support from the College of Engineering, OIT, academic and corporate partners, the VCL service successfully supports a wide range of users with diverse computing needs accross the UNC system.
