Your Identity Governance Lab.
Built & Ready to Run.

Custom hardware configured for real IAM and security lab work. Every machine is assembled, hardened, loaded with the right software, tested, and shipped to you plug-and-play.

Why a Dedicated Lab Machine?

Cloud VMs are great — until your lab runs 24/7, needs persistent state, or you want to test against real hardware. These machines give you a dedicated, always-on identity governance environment you control completely.

No Cloud Bill Surprises

Run Keycloak, Pi-Hole, ELK, and Proxmox 24/7 at zero marginal cost. One hardware purchase, infinite lab time.

Pre-Loaded & Hardened

Software is installed, configured, and tested before shipment. You plug in and start — no 3-hour setup session on day one.

Exam & Cert Ready

Studying for SC-300, AZ-500, or CISSP? Your lab mirrors real production environments — not sanitized tutorials.

Scale When You're Ready

Start with a Pi-Hole DNS box. When you outgrow it, we'll trade up to a Proxmox or Kubernetes node and migrate your configs.

Pick Your Lab Tier

All machines are assembled by Teconnected, loaded with open-source software, tested, and shipped. Pricing includes hardware, assembly, and initial configuration. Ongoing managed service is optional.
