Virtualization Lab for Cisco and Microsoft

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is possible (I can't find anything online), but I am looking for a virtual lab that allows for me to setup Cisco routers, switches, ASA (that would be ace!) and Windows Server 2012 R2. I'm shortly to begin a big university project and I don't have access all week to the physical equipment, so it would tie me down if I can't find a solution.

Does anyone have any insight on how I could achieve this?

Cheers

Cisco VIRL may be able to do this. It can do routers, switches, and ASAs for sure. You just need to find out if you can hook Server 2012 R2 into the environment. I assume you would have 2012 R2 in a VM trying to talk to your VIRL environment.

Awesome, thank you for spotting that for me. I've been pulling my hair out trying to find something like this!
