Abstract: This paper describes an inter-institutional, collaborative project to automate the entire process of creating a robust enterprise network with an integrated VCL cloud. The audience is individuals seeking to establish a VCL site in environments having little or no enterprise IT infrastructure. The starting point is one or more computers with no software installed. Connection to the internet is not required. A modular approach allows the option to not create some infrastructure elements. The solution is completely open source. A secondary benefit and use of the process is the establishment of a virtualisation platform for IT infrastructure, with the attendant advantage of capital and operating cost savings.
