Luther College will test shared virtual computing lab

Luther College is one of 15 colleges selected to test and evaluate a model for a shared virtual computing laboratory, LabSTOR.  Software for the LabSTOR program will be made available to participating institutions for testing late this fall through spring of next year.

The LabSTOR project will build a shared virtual computing laboratory that allows member campuses to make software applications remotely available to their students and faculty. The model aims to demonstrate the potential of the software and efficiencies that can be created by resource sharing.

The LabSTOR Collaborative Virtual Computing Laboratory is led by Allegheny College, Harvey Mudd College, Middlebury College and Occidental College.  Other colleges and universities participating include Luther College, Allegheny College, Carleton College, Colorado College, Harvey Mudd College, Kenyon College, Middlebury College, Millersville University, Occidental College, Rollins College, Smith College, University of Richmond, Wesleyan University, Wheaton College and Whitman College.
