With the rLAB there’s no need to purchase a high-powered computer, nor is there any need to purchase tons of expensive software. The rLAB enables students to use a high-end graphics computer workstation in our campus labs from anywhere, any time you want it. This is known as “remote desktop” or DaaS (Desktop as a Service), and it transforms your own device (your laptop for example) into a powerful lab workstation.
All you need is a basic internet connection. Basically, if you can watch Youtube, you can use the rLAB. You see the lab workstation’s desktop through your own screen, and can control it with your mouse and keyboard, using its software, licenses, GPU, CPU, RAM, and network hard drives. It’s like having the world’s longest cable plugging your monitor and mouse at home into a graphics workstation at school.
Plus, with the added addition of the broker checkout system, you get 24/7 access, from any device, anywhere, any time!
