Abstract

The Networking and Systems Administration Laboratories are vital components of the applied academic experience of the students of the Networking, Security and Systems Administration Department. Students are currently able to implement multiple heterogeneous computing infrastructures using Symantec's Ghost Solution Suite. This paper presents and explores virtual lab environments that support alternative preparation solutions that will increase laboratory utilization, student productivity, and provide students with exposure to virtualization technology.
