The nmaas Virtual Lab managed instance acts as a demo environment for testing the newly developed features enabling the Virtual Lab use case. It can support small scale exercises with around 20 students. In cases of bigger courses, institutions are encouraged to deploy an nmaas instance locally, on their own infrastructure. Interested users in either evaluating nmaas Virtual Lab on the managed instance or deploying it on their own infrastructure can get in touch with the nmaas team using one of the contact methods.

The Virtual LAB (vLAB) is a use case of the nmaas platform that simplifies organizing practical lab exercises by creating isolated, automated environments for participants. It offers individual domains, LMS integration for user import and group assignments, and personalized application catalogs. vLAB supports bulk or manual app deployment, SSO via OpenID Connect, and optimizes resources by pausing idle apps. It enables scenarios like security training with vulnerable containers, programming courses with full-stack dev setups, or network management training with monitoring tools.
The Virtual NOC (vNOC) is a cloud-based solution on the nmaas platform that provides ready-to-use monitoring and management tools without the need for a dedicated NMS infrastructure. It enables on-demand deployment of popular tools, includes built-in updates, log viewing, and access control, and supports easy extension with custom applications. By lowering cost and complexity, vNOC offers secure, centralized access to monitoring resources while supporting experimentation, testing, and collaborative use.
