As technology has progressed, the datacenter has become more important for IT education than ever before. Not only has it become more important than ever for students to know how to work with a datacenter and deploy applications to it, but giving students access to datacenter machines solves problems such as needing to run high-compute tasks not suited for the students' laptops (e.g. artificial intelligence), avoids complex installations and debugging for students by providing them with pre-created environments, and allows for assignment setups such as environments for cybersecurity courses where students need to attack targets within a closed off network. Digital Lab has created Virtual Labs, a service that distributes datacenter resources to students for use in their courses.
