University Labs

We offer a cloud-based virtual lab platform that lets educational institutions expand their hands-on training capacity without the space, hardware, or maintenance limitations of a physical lab.

Context and approach

Training professionals in networking, cybersecurity, or Industry 4.0 without a hands-on lab is like teaching swimming without water. But building and maintaining a full physical lab — equipment, space, licenses, maintenance — is an investment many educational institutions can't sustain long-term.

ELVIRA, our own remote lab platform, solves that problem: it's 100% web-based, requires no software installation, and is available 24/7 for instructors and students from anywhere. The model is modular, allowing institutions to start with one or two learning tracks and grow over time.

What's included in this service?

  • ELVIRA — our own remote lab platform, 100% web-based, no software installation required.
  • 24/7 access — for instructors and students.
  • Multiple learning tracks — networking (CCNA/CCNP), multi-vendor cybersecurity, IoT and Industry 4.0, Big Data, Cloud, AutoCAD, Illustrator, Matlab.
  • Modular model — new labs or tracks added at any time.
  • Cisco Networking Academy partnership — CCNA and CCNP certifications.
  • Huawei Academy partnership — specialized technical training.
  • Savings for the institution — no investment in equipment, physical space, or additional energy consumption.
Expected outcome

A path toward industry-recognized certifications

Through our partnerships with Cisco Networking Academy and Huawei Academy, institutions using ELVIRA can also offer their students a path toward internationally recognized industry certifications — without additional investment in equipment or physical space.
