Cloud Based Labs with iland LabEngine
Rapidly deploy and scale hands-on virtual environments for training, demos, beta testing, and proofs of concept in the cloud
- Single pane of glass for managing templates, calendars, labs, and users
- Easily migrate existing virtual machines or create new ones to develop templates that can be saved and deployed in scale
- Create complex environments that would typically be very difficult to deploy in scale – including nested hypervisors, virtual appliances, complex networking schemes and more
- Deploy and revert environments on demand or schedule in advance with a built-in calendar function
- Access lab environments from anywhere in the world
- Proctor or assist users by opening the console to any running environment
- Integrate with training or sales management applications with full API access
- Simple hourly pay per use model with the ability to spin up and spin down entire environments as you need them
Nothing shortens sales cycles or is more powerful demonstration of your product than a successful test drive or proof of concept. Traditional POCs put the burden of understanding the value of your product on the customer while simple trials lack relevant meaningful insights.
- Create a repeatable, scalable test drive environment ready to deploy at a moment’s notice
- Accelerate the sales process by delivering guided POCs and test drives without any burden on the customer
- Tie into your CRM to track and manage the entire process from lead to close with a full API suite
- Deliver rich data sets for a full experience to showcase the value of your solution, even if it requires a complex configuration
- Assist real-time with an “over the shoulder” view of what the customer is seeing enabling you to guide them through and deliver the best test drive experience
- Enable your channel partners to deliver the same high quality test drive environments to scale out your sales force
Nothing is better than hands-on training to enable your customers and internal teams. Training departments struggle with both maintaining complex environments and having the time to create quality content. LabEngine removes the worry of the environment and allows your training team to:
- Create rich, repeatable cloud-based training environments
- Manage multiple classrooms with multiple templates all from a single pane of glass
- Manage student accounts and their access to content
- Deliver hands-on training locally or remotely along with detailed user guides
- Deploy, revert, and scale your labs quickly, no more working weekends to build new environments for a class
- Guide students with an “over the shoulder” proctor view
Our Customers
“At Nimble Storage, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, we are always looking for innovative ways to enable our internal and channel engineering teams to train and demo our technologies, including InfoSight Predictive Analytics. We partnered with iland to provide a scalable, on demand, cloud-based training platform to support our global sales engineering training. This has let our team focus on delivering the highest quality content without worrying about the infrastructure needed to support it. Based on the success we’ve already seen with LabEngine, we plan to have it power our proof-of-concept lab which we expect will optimize and compress our sales process.”
–Randy Hopkins, VP of Systems Engineering, Nimble Storage
Worry Free Betas and User Feedback
Customer feedback and usability testing from betas is invaluable for product teams. Unfortunately, most customers simply do not have the time or resources to install and use beta software. Plus, many organizations will not even allow beta software on production environments. The answer is a pre-populated, guided or self-paced beta experience that can be quickly delivered to the customer. iland LabEngine allows Product teams to:
- Quickly spin up beta environments and deliver them worry free to customers for feedback without the customer having to impact their production environment
- Run guided beta tests and usability testing with the ability to watch and guide the customer
- Quickly implement changes to the environment, spin it up again and get continuous feedback faster than ever before
- Scale usability testing to encompass A/B testing and understand which solution is best for their product
- Develop closer customer relations by showcasing new features with no impact to the customer
Hands-on labs at trade shows, booth demos and even webinars are extremely effective marketing tactics. Booth presentations and webinars are always more engaging when accompanied by a technical demo and being able to have a reliable environment is key to successful presentations. iland LabEngine enables teams to:
- Develop reliable environments for partner and field marketing events
- Deploy demo environments for sales engineering teams creating a common experience across all customer presentations
- Deliver reliable webcast demonstrations and focus on the message and content
- Manage and maintain a catalog of environments to spin up and down as needed
