WORKSPACES
Our workspaces
Teralab workspaces are virtualized Unix-like environments in which our customers deploy their applications.
Called “Workspaces,” these environments allow our users to focus on their applications, leaving us to manage securing network access and system-related tasks. Our engineers also help you analyze the performance of your infrastructure and advise you on possible developments.
The workspaces include features hosted and managed by the Teralab team:
- Debian or Ubuntu virtual machines
- A backup/cold storage mechanism
- File storage
- A reverse proxy
- A firewall
- A VPN
- DNS and SSL certificate management
- An SSH bastion (SSH bounce machine)
- A private IP network
- Environmental monitoring
- Maintenance
- Support for deployment and operation
The hardware configurations are tailor-made (GPU machines, number of vCPUs, RAM, disks, etc.). And all of the systems are hosted in France.
Specific environments are also offered on demand, and made up of French public cloud services (managed Kubernetes, object storage (S3 type), block storage, serverless, dedicated servers, latest generation GPU VM instances, load balancers, etc.)
How to use our workspaces ?

MARKETPLACE
Our marketplace
The Teralab marketplace is a catalog of AI resources. Initially launched for the community of AI researchers of the Institut Mines Telecom, it contains models, datasets, algorithms and various programs.
Used by researchers of the Institut Mines Telecom to discover new algorithms, present their work, or disseminate their datasets, it can be extended to other communities.
To enable rapid experimentation with the resources of its catalog, the marketplace offers the ability to deploy containerized applications, on demand, in an execution environment hosted by Teralab.
User reviews
“Cleyrop was able to deploy its Datahub on Teralab’s trusted infrastructure.
To achieve this, Teralab set up a Kubernetes cluster managed by a French public cloud provider, and made it available to us.
We were also able to collaborate on the automated deployment of the DataHub on the Teralab infrastructure, as well as on compliance testing with Gaia-X portability norms & standards."
Arnaud MullerChief Strategy Officer, Cleyrop 
RENVIS has been closely working with TeraLab during the European Commission project EUH4D, on a sub project called “SOFIA”. This IT Challenge/Hackathon event would not have been completed successfully without the expertise and services provided by TeraLab. During this event, various teams should use ready-to-work cloud infrastructure to execute data analysis and solve specific data-driven problems. The experienced TeraLab team organized setup meetings, proposed an event planning, and delivered the 10 (ten) Virtual Machines on time. Access and file management guidelines were also co-edited and validated, facilitating the participation of the teams. All event actions have been completed successfully and we achieved hassle-free collaboration and execution of the Hackathon.

"We are grateful for the quality of service and support provided by Teralab. We have found the experience of working with Teralab both pleasant and beneficial. For sure we’ll take into account your services in the next future."
Giovanni GiaccoCTO, Latitudo 40 
“We have been using Teralab’s services as part of our Data & Museum R&D project for several years.
Our information system collects and analyzes data from around a hundred monuments: Center des Monuments Nationaux, Paris Musées, etc., including ticketing, attendance and attendance data.
The use of Teralab Workspace allows us to host our data collection, anonymization, storage, analysis and recommendation system, within a secure environment, in France.
The Teralab team also helps us in the operation of a production environment: supervision, configuration of reverse proxy and firewall, backups, maintenance of a virtualized environment, upgrade of machines. The team has always been responsive in offering responses to the needs expressed."
