Reach specialist research workstations from anywhere

Give authorised researchers a consistent route to lab computers, analysis workstations and configured environments without recreating the toolchain on every collaborator device.

Where it fits

Keep the research environment attached to the machine that works.

01

Lab-connected computers

Reach systems tied to instruments, drivers or local facilities when physical attendance is unnecessary.

02

Analysis and visualisation

Use configured CPU or GPU workstations for modelling, visualisation and data-analysis workflows.

03

Distributed collaboration

Give authorised collaborators a consistent route to a shared environment without reproducing the toolchain locally.

Research controls

Access design must follow the project’s governance.

LoLa provides the connection route; the research organisation remains responsible for deciding who may access each machine, dataset and application.

Classify the environmentDocument data sensitivity, contractual restrictions, ethics conditions and retention requirements.
Map users to machinesDefine which researchers, partners and support staff require access and for how long.
Validate the complete workflowTest instruments, licences, displays, transfer needs and network conditions before rollout.

See the access model

Use an existing workstation or add hosted capacity.

The media illustrates workstation access and Cloud PC provisioning; it is not presented as a completed research deployment.

See the hosted environment workflowThe official LoLa walkthrough shows how a Cloud GPU PC is provisioned and accessed. Research teams should separately validate application, governance and data requirements. Watch on YouTube.

Next step

Validate one constrained research workflow.

Start with the workstation, application or instrument dependency that is hardest to reproduce.
