Through HP Virtual Labs, you use real equipment to complete lab exercises in real time—without leaving your desk. No travel required. You can access "hands-on" training from wherever you are. Students take control of actual hardware and software in real time. Access to the HPVL is provided using a standard browser through a firewall-friendly, 128 bit encrypted, interface. Automating the HPVL environment maximizes the availability and use of the HPVL hardware and software and provides support for multiple concurrent self-paced and directed exercises.

To support a worldwide audience, the HPVL automated reservation, scheduling, configuration, and initialization systems make it possible to be responsive to diverse scheduling and resource requirements.

An easy-to-use interface provides you with a “learning environment” on your desktop, through which you’ll access lab assignments and control equipment through windows to specific devices.

You own the resources in your virtual lab for the duration of the time you have reserved. When you want to reset the environment back to its initial state, or recycle it, you can do so.
