FacilitiesCreated in collaboration with Macquarie Group, the Macquarie Trading Room gives students access to streamed market information - a real-world simulation of the trading experience. Students gain practical experience in executing deals and managing portfolios, with trading conditions almost identical to those encountered by seasoned financial traders around the world. The Virtual Information Technology Teaching Laboratory (VITTL) uses advanced, innovative virtualisation technology and teaching processes to allow information technology students to gain industrial-level experience with advanced software, servers and operating systems. Virtual machines run on a 24/7 basis and students are given administrative privileges. Such access could not normally be granted to a physical machine in a shared teaching lab on a permanent basis. Students can then access the desktop of their own virtual machine from any other computer on campus including any teaching laboratory, library and public access spaces and the student's own laptop connected by Wi-Fi.
