In-House Labs: Use your local classroom computers for virtual training.
Maximize the use of your existing in-house infrastructure to deliver secure virtual training. Gain lab overview and control capabilities with just a browser.
What are In-House Labs?
In-House Labs can turn on-premise compute resources into virtual training labs, allowing students to securely connect with just a browser while providing the instructor with the lab overview and control capabilities they need to deliver engaging training and keep track of progress in the lab.
Examples of in-house labs are:
- Regular desktop computers.
- Specialized hardware-including GPU-optimized systems.
- Computers with license dongles.
- ESXi or Hyper-V servers running virtual machines.
- Computers with devices connected to USB or COM ports.
- Computers that require networking to mainframes or other in-network data sources.
By keeping systems within your network, you maintain full control over configurations and data security.
With this approach, your organization can reduce costs, enhance security, and deliver high-quality, hands-on training using existing resources.
Who is In-House Labs for?
In-House Labs is built for organizations and institutions that want a cost-effective, secure, and efficient way to deliver hands-on IT training. By leveraging your existing internal resources—like classroom computers or servers—you can eliminate the need for costly cloud infrastructure while maintaining control over your training environment. This solution is particularly well-suited for:
Corporate Training Departments
For businesses running training programs for remote employees, In-House Labs reduces costs by utilizing on-premise systems instead of running VMs at cloud providers. It’s ideal for organizations looking to train employees on proprietary tools or sensitive data while maintaining complete control over their IT environment.
Educational Institution
Universities, colleges, and technical schools can enhance their training programs by offering online training using existing classroom hardware. In-House Labs supports IT and engineering courses requiring access to GPU-intensive systems, software with specific licensing needs, or other specialized hardware setups.
IT Training Providers
Training companies delivering hands-on IT courses can reduce infrastructure costs and improve operational efficiency by running labs on their own hardware. In-House Labs also supports hybrid learning environments, making it easier to engage both remote and in-person students.
Government and Defense Organizations
Agencies with strict compliance and security requirements benefit from In-House Labs’ secure, on-premises design. This solution ensures sensitive data and systems remain within the organization’s network, making it a reliable option for government and defense training programs.

Hybrid Training Sessions
Conduct sessions with both in-person and remote students, ensuring equal access to the same high-quality lab experience.
Security-First Design
Keep all systems and data within your network, with secure HTTPS connections and no need for external access or firewall changes.
Specialized Hardware Training
Deliver training on systems with fixed interfaces, license dongles, GPU-intensive setups, or hardware that cloud environments can’t replicate.
Data Privacy in Training
Safely train with production or near-production data by keeping everything on your company’s secure network.
Flexible System Grouping
Organize systems by location, hardware specifications, or purpose for tailored resource allocation in each training event.
Cost Reduction in Training
Maximize your budget by using in-house systems, eliminating cloud provider fees for frequent or large-scale training sessions.
How In-House Labs work: Built for simplicity and scalability
In-House Labs is built for organizations and institutions that want a cost-effective, secure, and efficient way to deliver hands-on IT training. By leveraging your existing internal resources—like classroom computers or servers—you can eliminate the need for costly cloud infrastructure while maintaining control over your training environment. This solution is particularly well-suited for:
01
System Registration
Register your in-house systems in Axis with unique identifiers like (IP Address), MAC addresses, or hostnames. Group systems by hardware type, location, or other criteria to streamline management.
02
SystemAgent Installation
Install SystemAgent (SA) on the registered systems. SA securely connects to Axis, matching each system to its corresponding record.
03
Event Scheduling
Schedule training events by selecting an in-house lab plan and assigning a system group. Axis checks system availability and schedules the event.
04
Remote Access
At the start of the event, SystemAgent deploys HyperView on assigned systems, enabling remote student access. HyperView is uninstalled automatically at the end of the event to ensure security.

What customers are saying about us
It does everything I need it to. The ability to have VMs that a client can use with only a web browser is incredible. The tools available to monitor student machines, transfer files, etc. are all great.
Flexibility: ReadyTech allows us to scale our instructor-led class sizes from just a few students to dozens. We can easily schedule classes with lab environments ready at the start, and if there are no-shows, we can release the unused lab environments
We have expanded our use of ReadyTech Virtual Training. What we thought was just a COVID temporary solution has become a core component of our training offerings. ReadyTech has continued to update their technology, and the students that use the tool have all had positive comments.
The Axis tool is very thorough with great features including showing your screen from the secure window with others (no more need to get files onto their host computer).
Support gets back to my emails in minutes and the chat support is less than a minute. The UI is intuitive and it's not hard to create classes. I also love the lab manager!
Very easy to learn and use with a wide variety of features that can augment our training program. Our previous training environment required hours to set up a training clas, ReadyTech takes minutes.
