The statistical visual computing laboratory (SVCL) at UCSD performs research in both fundamental and applied problems in computer vision, image processing, machine learning, and multimedia. Cisco UCS Director is a heterogeneous platform for private cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It supports a variety of hypervisors along with Cisco and third-party servers, network, storage, converged and hyperconverged infrastructure across bare-metal and virtualized environments. The Cisco AnyConnect dialogue will come up (likely familiar to regular users of the VPN). At the first prompt, type in 'vpn.ucsd.edu' and hit Connect.
