Welcome back everyone, as promised I am starting to populate this blog more and more and therefore onto the next installments. CloudShare is one of those fantastic companies that comes along every once in a while, you take a look sign up for a trial and then cannot put it down.
If you are looking for a virtual environment that is cloud based and do not want the hassle of building virtual machines, mounting software etc then these guys are perfect for you. Hopefully when I get their permission I will blog on how to setup your environments, give access to additional team members of guests and so the easy of the interface – even working on the iPad..!
The purpose of us using these environments are two fold; first to start building our SharePoint Development platform instead of using Office365 then next to build an Exchange 2010, Lync, Win 7, Linux and AD environment – this way we can remove the hardware in our lab and consolidate onto using the CloudShare.
Now you may think there is a catch for such a great product – there is but only small, your servers are not powered on all the time (there is an upgrade option for this), after so many mins / hours (I can not remember off the top of my head) your VM’s will spin down, but is this such a problem – no way just look at the benefits:-
- Pre-built servers, built and powered on within minutes.
- Share environments with team members, clients and demo’s.
- Web based and RDP based access.
- Integration with your internal platform.
- Ability to create snap shots.
No here is the perfect offer – all this for only $499 a year for 24GB RAM allocation (at present), see the below for details:
CloudShare ProPlus is now available with up to 24 GB of RAM. And You Can Save $390!
