IT Lab Simulation Software
Practice requires ownership.
Rudder Virt gives every IT student an IT lab of their own: a space to explore, learn, build, break and try again.
Get StartedCURRENT LAB SOFTWARE IS FAILING
IT labs are failing the future.
Schools are expected to deliver career-ready IT students, but most IT labs still run on static tools that can't evolve fast or reflect real-world work. The result is a widening gap between classroom learning and industry expectations.
IT Labs
Legacy experiences with no hands-on options.
IT Students
Stale lessons with no room for individual, hands-on learning.
IT Educators
Lacking visibility, clarity or real-world alignment.

Pricing
Simple, flexible pricing.
Run a flat monthly plan: reserve a set number of VM Slots and provision as many virtual machines as you need within them, all at one predictable price. Prefer to pay as you go? Buy virts and spend one each time you create a machine. Either way, you stay in full control of your budget.
- Monthly plan: reserve VM Slots and reassign them freely across modules and students.
- Or pay as you go with virts, no commitment.
- Transparent usage and budget control.
