Virtual IT Labs · Enterprise · Fall 2026
The platform is easy to configure and reasonably priced.

Every ReadyTech plan covers the full platform. What changes is how you pay for the lab capacity underneath it, and how much of the infrastructure you bring yourself.
ReadyTech supports several hosting models, and the one you choose is the biggest single factor in what your program costs. You can bring your own cloud account, use hardware you already own, let ReadyTech host and manage everything, or skip virtual machines entirely. Start with whichever of these sounds like you.
Run labs in your existing AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud (OCI) account and pay your provider directly at your negotiated rates. ReadyTech adds scheduling, class management, browser-based access, and automated shutdown on top.
Cloud provider-hosted, powered by AxisKeep labs on your own internal infrastructure, behind your own security and compliance controls, and add browser-based learner access plus real-time instructor visibility and control on top of it.
In-house labsWhen learners only need a browser and a login, there is no virtual machine to pay for. You still get the part that makes hands-on training work: seeing what every learner is doing, and stepping in when one gets stuck.
Lab OverviewThe most common source of wasted training spend is a virtual machine nobody remembered to turn off. Cloud provider-hosted labs, powered by Axis, start, pause, and terminate on a schedule, so machines only run when a class needs them. Nobody has to remember anything at the end of the day.
