ATLANTA - Georgia State University is joining with 16 other colleges across the country to form a network of virtual computer labs that make educational and research resources available online 24 hours a day.
The project, called Cloud Computing Academy, is being lead by IBM (NYSE: IBM). Other colleges involved include North Carolina State University and New York University.
NCSU signed on for the IBM program in 2008.
The lab will put all the software and hardware available in a brick-and-mortar computer lab in a shared space online so that it can be accessed by students and faculty from any computer in the campus network.
Students, faculty and staff at Georgia State will also be able to work with peers at other participating universities and share research findings and new ideas.
