Fall 2009- Virtualization Begins August 21, 2009
Posted by afoote in : Information Systems , trackbackThe summer is over and next week classes begin. I think we are ready to use the virtualization process in a small number of courses in the IS department. I will use the process in the Networking Technologies and Java Programming courses. Although both courses are in the Information Systems department, Virtualization will be used in different ways. In the networking course the virtualization process will be used to create a virtual network. Students will be accessing and analyzing the network to understand how it is put together. For the Java Programming course, Virtualization will be used to create a secure programming environment. The environment will not be used by anyone other than Java students and we can set up the environment for our unique purposes. There is a web server, two database servers and the programming development environment set up in the Virtual lab.
This semester will be the first semester that a large number of students and users will be using virtualization and we will find out how well the system scales. Most of us that are using virtualization are looking forward to how all of this will work and we are optimistic about it. I think there are about 10 classes and over 100 students that will be using virtualization this semester.
