本文介绍了一个学术云和动手虚拟实验室，在这个云上运行的发展。该系统已由南卡罗来纳州大学、斯坦利社区学院和网络开发小组部署。学术云通过互联网提供对实验室设备的远程访问能力，并无缝地共享来自四个数据中心的资源（CPU，内存，存储）。数据中心位于南卡罗来纳州、北卡罗来纳州、伊利诺伊州和爱达荷州。虚拟实验室通过项目小组组织的讲习班传播。在一年的时间里，学术云已经为超过10万名学习者提供了服务。根据使用该平台的研讨会参与者的意见，学术云和虚拟实验室的质量超出了最初的预期。
This paper describes the development of an Academic Cloud and hands-on virtual laboratories that run on this cloud. The system has been deployed by the University of South Carolina, Stanly Community College, and the Network Development Group. The Academic Cloud provides remote-access capability to laboratory equipment via the Internet and seamlessly pools and shares resources (CPU, memory, storage) from four data centers. The data centers are located in South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, and Idaho. The virtual laboratories are disseminated via workshops that are organized by the project team. In one year, the Academic Cloud has served over 100,000 learners. Based on input from workshops’ participants who used the platform, the quality of the Academic Cloud and virtual laboratories have exceeded initial expectation.
