SharePoint training environments are time-consuming to initialize and SharePoint trainers are well aware of the amount of time it takes to provision, set up and configure production-grade, multi-machine environments. Now all the hard work has been taken out of these task with the introduction of CloudShare ProPlus.

The CloudShare ProPlus environment gives you permanent links for the most popular SharePoint farms. All that is necessary is to click on the permalink and your SharePoint farm will be lauched within seconds.

This means that there is no more needs for:

You can use this permalink again and again and save the environment as your own.

“We built the farms in response to the needs of our customers - there’s no more wasted time because the hard work is already done,” said Uri Gilad, director of product management for CloudShare.

CloudShare has included the servers, the networking and whatever else is needed in order to build a test bed environment. The idea is to make a fast easy solution in order to develop and test SharePoint. In fact this same system can be used for any business application.

The CloudShare environments, all include Office 2010 and Visual Studio, plus:

• SharePoint 2010, Active Directory and SQL Server

• Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010 (classic Information Worker set-up)

• Active Directory, SQL Server, SharePoint 2010 Application Server and SharePoint 2010 Web Front End (WFE)

All our farms use the most popular configurations and best practices shared by SharePoint experts.

“For pre-production and demo work, CloudShare’s instant SharePoint 2010 virtual machines creation process delivers a fully functional, cloud-based multi-server environment in minutes,” Kris Wagner, a Microsoft SharePoint Server MVP who has used the pre-configured SharePoint environments on CloudShare, explained, “As a consultant, I need to build and customize enterprise environments with little or notice, and CloudShare has saved me time and money in non-billable hours. CloudShare just works!”
