Description
The Broward College IT and Engineering Department is seeking a Virtual Lab Infrastructure Management Solution. The solution should be an open-source, API-driven infrastructure management system that supports educational environments, cybersecurity training, testing labs, and other academic technology needs. The system should enable the College to focus on education and student training rather than infrastructure configuration and management. The managed hosting solution should provide a complete turnkey approach, including hardware ownership, initial installation, 24/7 monitoring, ongoing maintenance, and technical support.
• The system should support multiple isolated virtual ranges, making it ideal for institutions managing multiple courses and student groups simultaneously.
• The system should support five Broward College administrator users, five instructor accounts, at least 180 concurrent virtual machines, and integration with D2L Brightspace.
• The platform should support at least five courses for a minimum of eight months, providing consistent and reliable access for faculty and students.
• The solution should reduce the need for additional IT staffing or technical expertise, ensure predictable costs, and deliver uninterrupted service with formal service level agreements.
