The Apache VCL project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.2. There are several new features and quite a number of bugs fixed since 2.3.2 (2.4 and 2.4.1 were never officially announced due to problems with them).
Information on downloading and installing it can be found on our download page: http://vcl.apache.org/downloads/download.cgi Release notes can be found here: http://vcl.apache.org/docs/releasenotes.html A change log for these releases can be found here: http://vcl.apache.org/docs/changelog.html Installation and upgrade scripts are included in the release. There are web instructions on manually doing installs and upgrades linked to from the download page. The Apache VCL is a self-service system used to dynamically provision and broker remote access to a dedicated compute environment for an end-user. The provisioned computers are typically housed in a data center and may be physical blade servers, traditional rack mounted servers, or virtual machines. VCL can also broker access to standalone machines such as a lab computers on a university campus. One of the primary goals of VCL is to deliver a dedicated compute environment to a user for a limited time through a web interface. This compute environment can range from something as simple as a virtual machine running productivity software to a machine room blade running high end software (i.e. a CAD, GIS, statistical package or an Enterprise level application) to a cluster of interconnected physical (bare metal) compute nodes. Using the scheduling API, VCL can be used to automate the provisioning of servers in a server farm or HPC cluster. Josh Thompson Apache VCL release manager
