The Problem with Traditional Simulation Setups
For years, simulation software meant on-premise installation— physical systems, dedicated hardware, compatibility issues, and, inevitably, IT bottlenecks.
Whether it was securing approval from internal security teams, navigating firewalls, or sourcing hardware that could handle real-time 3D VR , simulation systems often ended up delayed or underused.
Training teams lost time. Operations got disrupted. And the people who needed it the most to train—couldn’t.
What Cloud-Based Access Changes
Modern simulation software has moved to the cloud for a reason. The benefits are practical, immediate, and scalable:
✅ No Installation Required
Users access the platform directly through their browser. No software downloads, no admin permissions, no specialized hardware.
✅ Instant, On-Demand Availability
Trainees and instructors can launch a session from any internet-connected device, anytime. Whether you’re in the office, at home, or on-site, your simulation is ready.
✅ Bypass Firewall Headaches
Because there’s no local install and no need to open ports or whitelist new apps, your IT department doesn’t have to get involved just to get things started.
✅ Easier for Multi-Site or Remote Teams
Cloud access means centralized systems for decentralized teams. Everyone trains in the same virtual environment—no matter where they’re located.
✅ Lower Hardware Costs
With the heavy computing done in the cloud, companies don’t need to invest in high-spec workstations for each user. Standard machines can access powerful simulations.
Why This Matters for Emergency Response Training
In high-stakes industries, simulation is only valuable when it’s easily accessible. A training tool that’s delayed by setup, blocked by firewalls, or restricted to one machine in one room isn’t useful when you're trying to prepare people for real emergencies.
With cloud-based access, responders can jump into realistic scenarios with zero friction, they can test procedures, rehearse response plans, and build muscle memory across the team.
And when the incident happens, you don’t just have a plan on paper—you’ve practiced it.
At Structurus, our STRX simulation platform is 100% cloud-based.
No install
No delay
No IT dependency
Just open a browser, log in, and begin.
If you're training across multiple teams, sites, or time zones—cloud access isn't a convenience. It's a requirement.
