Republic Polytechnic (RP) is Singapore's newest polytechnic school and first educational institution to fully adopt the advanced Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. As part of the PBL pedagogy, the school wanted to create a realistic environment for training its students. For the intrusion detection module, the school wanted to create a relatively complex environment of six machines per group of students, but did not have the space to do it with physical machines. After considering its options, the school chose VMware Workstation and VMware ESX Server. For the business continuity module, the school uses VMware ESX Server to enable one single physical server to be loaded with three guest operating systems, to illustrate server consolidation and how it supports disaster recovery.
