One of the (original) goals of the VirtualRDC was to provide an environment that simulated the computing environment in the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers. Researchers could learn how to work within the constraints of the confidential FSRDCs before actually starting work at one of the physical locations, thus reducing the setup time and permitting the use of the VirtualRDC as a teaching environment.

The structure of the FSRDC computer environment has sufficiently changed and diverged from our simulated environment. We are thus no longer offering this service.
