NETLAB+ Features
Remote lab access, automated setup, smart scheduling, real-time collaboration, and built-in assessment, all managed through a web-based interface.
24/7 Remote Access
Access NETLAB+ from anywhere through a simple web browser. Built-in console applications let learners connect to virtual machines, routers, switches, and firewalls with a single click. Connection sharing lets educators and learners collaborate in real time, and a built-in chat client keeps everyone connected.
Certification-Aligned Content
Access curriculum aligned with industry certifications from Cisco, Red Hat, Palo Alto Networks, and CompTIA. Virtual topologies can be cloned quickly using NETLAB+'s pod cloning and automated network features.
Smart Scheduling
A built-in calendar scheduler lets learners and educators book lab time at their convenience. All lab access is controlled by reservation, so resources are always available when needed. Time zone support simplifies participation across regions.
Proactive Resource Awareness
A scheduling feature unique to NETLAB+: pods are proactively managed so virtual machines are never oversubscribed, ensuring a quality lab experience. Spreading server load over time lets you serve more learners with fewer virtualization servers.
Automation & Assessment
Equipment is automatically configured for each lab and reset at the end of every reservation, so no manual setup is required. NETLAB+ records all commands issued on routers, switches, and firewalls. Activity logs, configuration files, and device output are saved with each session for educator review.
Streamlined Administration
NETLAB+ is an appliance: all administration is web-based and requires no system administrator expertise. Manage equipment pods, communities, classes, accounts, and services from a single interface. Pod cloning, pod assignment rules, and automatic software updates keep operations simple.
