Virtual labs for universities

Computer science faculties and technical degree programmes

Systems, networks, cloud, security, DevOps

Distance learning centres

Fast set-up of environments for e-learning and practical exams

Subject-specific labs

Project work and exercises that need full admin rights in an isolated environment

Benefits for universities: lower costs of maintaining computer labs, easy scaling of the number of workstations, the same environment for the whole group, access from home or on campus, clear usage reports.

Launch labs fast

Predefined images and your own course templates

Group and schedule management

Time windows, plus hour and resource limits for classes and exams

Browser access

Students work from home or on campus, with no additional software to install

Oversight and support

View student activity, restart/stop environments, send messages to the group

Usage reports

Usage time, load, attendance; CSV/PDF export for reporting

Security and isolation

Every student gets their own environment, separated from everyone else’s

Flexible scenarios

Semester-long exercises, short workshops, practical exams, blended learning

Prepare

Choose a lab template or define your own image/configuration. You can prepare multiple variants for different courses or semesters.

Distribute

Provide the list of students or groups. The system automatically creates isolated environments, assigns them and sends out access instructions.

Provision

Launch hundreds of instances on demand for the whole group or only for enrolled participants, and set a time window and resource limits.

Use

Students log in from anywhere (in the browser). The instructor tracks activity, sees the status of every lab, can pause or resume sessions and can generate a report.

“Prepare → Distribute → Provision → Use”
Delivering even hundreds of virtual environments takes minutes, not days.

SaaS

A fully managed service: start quickly without adding work for your IT department

On-premises / private cloud

For universities that need full control and integration with their existing infrastructure

Academic licensing

Terms tailored to the size of the faculty and the number of students

Warsaw University of Technology – Institute of Control and Industrial Electronics

Warsaw University of Technology uses the CloudLabs platform for teaching – we also believe that further work to broaden the ways the platform can be used is worthwhile. In our opinion, its main features are:

Many aspects of learning available in e-learning mode.

The ability to learn and teach in real business conditions without any infrastructure hurdles.

Access to the same environment via a website from anywhere (even at home).

No need to install additional software.

The ability for the teacher to control how the environment is used in the teaching process.

Interactive teacher–student contact during remote teaching (very important for e-learning classes).

The ability to allocate a lab at a specific time, with the additional option of limiting it in time and resources.

Usage reporting.

Vistula

Vistula University of Finance and Business

We were delighted to hear that CloudTeam is joining the Horizon 2020 programme to extend the CloudLabs platform to other virtualisation systems. Vistula University uses the platform when running classes for students. We believe that further development of the platform is worthwhile. In our view, the platform’s advantages include:

Enhancing many aspects of teaching in e-learning.

The ability to learn and teach in conditions identical to those in a future workplace.

Access to the same environment from anywhere via a website (even from home)

No need to install additional software.

The ability to control how the environment is used.

Interactivity between student and teacher during remote classes (very important from the point of view of e-learning classes).

The ability to run training at a given time, with the additional option of limiting working hours and resources.

Usage reporting

We are convinced that further work on developing this platform is advisable. Using the platform on other virtualisation systems will certainly increase its use in everyday work.

Lenovo

Lenovo uses the CloudLabs platform very often when delivering training. We strongly recommend further development of the platform. In our opinion, the main features of the platform are:

Easy training of a group of employees from different company branches at the same time.

Access to a complete computing environment at all times from different devices.

Our employees are very happy using CloudLabs at these events – the tool is easy to use and works without problems even on their own computers. We therefore recommend CloudLabs for commercial use.

Samsung

Samsung uses the CloudLabs platform very often when delivering training. In our view, its strengths include:

Easy lab management (even by non-technical staff).

Easy remote training of groups of employees.

Significant savings in training employees from different company branches.

We are convinced that further work on developing this platform is advisable. Using the platform on other virtualisation systems will certainly increase its use in everyday work.
