OAKLAND, California – November 6, 2018 – Today, ReadyTech announces the availability of Axis, a training delivery solution that allows training organizations to run their virtual training labs on AWS, Azure, and GCP while taking advantage of ReadyTech’s rich set of training applications and tools.
Run virtual training labs on AWS, Azure, and GCP with ReadyTech Axis
When it comes to cloud resources, it is hard to beat the global reach and scale of the big 3 providers. Combined, AWS, Azure and GCP have more than 70 data centers spread around the world. This gives training organizations the potential to deliver high performance lab environments anywhere in the world. The major providers were also designed for running production environments so they provide a level of reliability and security that smaller providers and internal cloud solutions simply cannot match. For example, AWS, Azure and GCP all have 99.99% monthly SLAs for their virtual machines.
Until now, using the major cloud vendors to deliver virtual training was very challenging. Their consoles are complex, and their APIs even more so. Remembering to manually start and stop the labs is a hassle. Too often, connectivity doesn’t work for users at secure locations. And none of the providers have critical features for training like over-the-shoulder.
ReadyTech Axis solves these problems by providing a training-focused interface on top of the cloud providers that makes it easy for training organizations to easily deliver training using the cloud provider of their choice. Training personnel just define their courses, labs, and schedule and Axis handles the rest – spinning up and down the labs as needed, providing firewall-friendly connectivity, and notifying students how to access their labs. In addition, instructors can use LabManager, ReadyTech’s world-class lab management tool, to monitor, control, and demo all the lab environments.
According to Kevin Woodward, ReadyTech’s CEO, “One of the most unique aspects of Axis is the pricing transparency. Customers sign up for their own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account(s) and are billed directly by the providers. Many training departments can leverage the fact they are part of larger organizations to negotiate deep volume discounts on the major providers’ already low prices. This is not possible with other solutions.”
