New Horizons Computer Learning Centers of Northwest Arkansas now offers test lab rentals. Area businesses can now rent our facilities to test new software and/or hardware deployments in the safety of an off-site test lab. You can rent from one to over twenty-five identical computers per day. In addition, you can choose a “standard” load of one operating system per physical computer, or take advantage of our Virtual PC/Virtual Server software to run over 55 concurrent servers and/or clients!
We are able to accommodate any x86 operating system or software and will set up the room to your specifications. We can load each server and Virtual PC/Server for your team, or we can format all computers to have your team start from scratch.
T1 Internet connectivity is included, and our infrastructure will allow for three different configurations:
1. Stand-alone lab (this will cut the test lab off from the world for no outside access)
2. Filtered Internet access (we can configure the router to allow any access you choose)
3. Full Access (this will place your lab, or just the servers you choose, outside our firewall with no filtering)
Just a sampling of the software available in our lab is listed in the following table. (All Feature Packs and Service Packs are available.) We can load this software for you or have the media and keys available for your use. In addition, you can bring in your own software to load and test as necessary.
Depending on your Test Lab needs, we also have a Consultive Test Lab available. This will give you exclusive access to a test lab consultant as you complete your lab tests and work through test scenarios.
