Overview

Accops HyLabs helps universities, educational institutes and L&D organizations create, manage and monitor virtualized ICT labs and provide real time access to the ICT enabled labs from any device, anywhere & anytime.

HyLabs automates provisioning, orchestration and curriculum-based access to ICT labs with the single goal of enabling self-service for faculty members and students. It gives HoDs and faculty members, the flexibility to deploy and manage labs on their own without any prior knowledge and training of the underlying infrastructure. At the same time, students get schedule-based access to existing physical labs or virtual labs from their home or campus, using their own devices. Virtualizing the ICT labs reduces operational cost for the institutes and enables real time, self-service enabled learning environment.
