You’re asked for a single lab to support a sales trial, or a regional marketing event. You may even be asked to set up a small loaner-depot. It doesn’t take long for the task to become scale, reproduce, sustain. We, too begin, like most labs, with a simple idea – creating a node as a virtual machine. Those nodes are copied, uploaded, started, and torn down. A node is the most fundamental building block of your crafted, on-demand labs, at any scale, for your specialized business needs.
Node Templates
You’re asked to create another VM, perhaps the 100th, and likely one just like the others with a minor tweak to the cloud configuration. TechAccelerator’s node templates ensure that you set up once, and then add provisioners, VM templates, hardware configuration, and other features, so that your technical leads can build your software correctly anywhere, anytime, everytime, confidently.
Blueprints Repeat Environments, Track Changes
Setting up networks, building VMs, and installing software requires confidence in repeating monotonous tasks. TechAccelerator’s DevOps module library accelerates entire architecture stacks. You give your engineers the ability to create complex environments that can be reused and rebuilt correctly, anywhere, anytime, every time, confidently.

I love how the TechAccelerator platform allows their clients to demonstrate real solution environments that would be very hard and costly for them to do themselves. Especially now, when we have to do everything remotely.Brian Garrett EVP Validation Services, Enterprise Strategy Group

One Blueprint, Multiple Product Versions
Using blueprint templates, you create a single environment. You drop in each version of your product, because your teams use the version that matters to them. Engineering teams have ready access to share new product versions with sales, marketing, and training teams. Sales has what they need to help customers make sense of the market and purchase quickly, every time, confidently.
Node templates and blueprints create your environment to craft on-demand labs for your specialized business. You promote them into your catalog, and power-on an instance from your catalog to enable a lab for use.
