Lab in a Box — On-Premise Testing
Your devices. Your network. Your control.
A plug-and-play hardware appliance that turns your existing devices into a managed, remotely-accessible testing lab — without a single byte of data leaving your network.
What's in the box?
Lab in a Box is a physical hardware appliance — not software you install. You receive a preconfigured hub that connects to your devices and makes them remotely accessible to your entire team.
Compact Form Factor
Desktop-sized appliance that fits in any server rack or office shelf. No dedicated data center required.
USB & Wi-Fi Connectivity
Connect iOS and Android devices via USB for maximum reliability, or Wi-Fi for flexible placement.
Multi-Device Support
Each hub supports multiple simultaneous devices. Deploy multiple hubs across offices for distributed teams.
Preconfigured & Ready
Ships fully configured — no OS installation, no driver setup, no network engineering. Plug in and go.
Remote Access Built In
Access connected devices from any browser, anywhere in the world — as if they were on your desk.
Auto-Updates & Monitoring
Firmware updates pushed automatically. Device health monitored 24/7 by Pcloudy's operations team.
Why not just build your own lab?
Managing a DIY device lab is a full-time job. Lab in a Box gives you all the control of an in-house lab — without the operational nightmare.
Challenges
- Cables, charging docks, USB hubs — constant hardware maintenance
- Devices go offline, freeze, or disconnect randomly
- Manual OS updates across dozens of devices
- Battery health degrades, devices overheat without monitoring
- Devs physically walk to the lab — or wait for someone to ship a device
- No remote access — testing blocked when team is distributed
Our Solution
- Automated device health monitoring & recovery
- Remote access from any browser, any location
- OS updates managed by Pcloudy automatically
- Built-in charging management & thermal monitoring
- Team-based access control & session scheduling
- Full automation support — Appium, Selenium, Espresso, XCUITest
How your data stays inside
No cloud relay. No external servers. The hub sits inside your network — device streams, test data, and app binaries never leave your infrastructure.
Your Devices
iOS & Android devices connected to the hub via USB/Wi-Fi
Pcloudy Hub
All processing happens locally on the appliance inside your network
Your Team
Engineers access devices remotely through secure browser sessions
What others can't offer
Major cloud testing platforms like BrowserStack and Sauce Labs are cloud-only. Pcloudy is the only enterprise platform that offers a true on-premise solution.
From unboxing to testing in 30 minutes
No IT tickets. No infrastructure planning. No vendor calls. Just plug in and go.
Receive the Hub
A compact, preconfigured appliance shipped to your office. No server rack needed.
Connect Devices
Plug in your iOS and Android devices via USB. Auto-detects and onboards each device in seconds.
Configure Access
Set up team roles, network profiles, and CI/CD integrations from the web dashboard.
Test Remotely
Your team accesses devices from any browser, anywhere. Manual testing, automation, or both.
Security & compliance by design
Built for organizations where data cannot leave the building — literally.
Complete Data Sovereignty
All testing data, app binaries, screenshots, and logs stay on your network.
Comprehensive Audit Trails
Track every device access, test session, and user interaction. Export logs for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions per team, project, or device. LDAP/SSO integration.
Automated Device Cleanup
After every session, devices are automatically wiped — app uninstalled, data cleared, cache purged.
Hybrid flexibility
Start with your own devices. Scale to the cloud when you need more coverage. No vendor lock-in.
Use Your Devices
Connect your own iOS and Android devices. Test on the exact hardware your customers use.
Supplement with Cloud
Access Pcloudy's 5,000+ cloud devices alongside your on-prem lab — same platform.
One Unified Dashboard
Manage on-prem and cloud devices from a single interface. No context switching.
Full testing platform — not just device access
Everything you get in Pcloudy's cloud — automation, AI agents, performance monitoring — running on your own devices.
Functional Testing
Test user journeys, features, and flows on real devices from anywhere.
Performance Testing
Monitor speed, memory, CPU, network, and battery with 60+ real-time metrics.
AI-Powered Automation
QPilot AI and specialized agents automate test creation, execution, and maintenance.
Parallel Execution
Run tests simultaneously across multiple on-prem devices — cut testing time by up to 80%.
Visual & Accessibility
Catch UI regressions and accessibility violations automatically across screen sizes.
CI/CD Integration
Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI — trigger on-prem tests from any pipeline.
Built for teams that can't go cloud
Banking & Finance
PCI-DSS, SOX, and RBI compliance. Test mobile banking apps on real devices behind your firewall.
Healthcare
HIPAA-compliant device testing for patient-facing apps. PHI never touches an external server.
Government & Defense
Air-gapped, on-premise testing with complete data sovereignty for classified environments.
