Build Your Own Labs

Build labs that run in the cloud.

• Keep your costs manageable and save time with features like Cloud Slice.

Build labs that run in a virtualized environment. 

• Use geolocation to automatically launch the labs in the data center closest to you using Hyper-V® or vSphere®.

Build shared labs.

• Enable multiple users to work cooperatively or competitively, individually or in teams, in shared labs with shared resources.
• Use a cyber range environment to create and test strategies securely.
• Create and execute team projects to perform complicated DevOps tasks, develop content delivery processes, or create and test different strategies, all within a secure environment.

Go beyond virtual machines and networks.

• Integrate a lab with other apps or services to dynamically extend the lab experience beyond virtual machines and networks. Use Life Cycle Actions to automatically perform tasks such as invoking a web API, sending a notification message to a student, or invoking commands in the cloud or on a specific VM in a lab.

Add labs to other learning platforms.

• Use our API to integrate Lab on Demand features into external services or platforms.
• Invoke Learning Tools Interoperability to embed labs in LTI consumer platforms such as Open edX and Moodle.

Create student assessments.

• Choose from fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice, or automated scoring scripts.

Keep your labs secure.

• Set restrictions, block sites and create an enhanced firewall.  Increase or decrease restrictions as needed.
