CloudShare
CloudShare is a cloud-based platform for creating virtual IT environments used in software training, sales demos, proof-of-concept labs, and hands-on technical education. Instead of shipping hardware, configuring local VMs, or asking prospects to install software on their own machines, CloudShare spins up fully configured environments in the cloud that users access through their browser. Each environment can include multiple virtual machines, networking configurations, and pre-installed software.
For organisations selling complex software products or delivering technical training, the ability to give someone a working environment in minutes changes the conversation entirely. Sales engineers can run live product demonstrations without worrying about compatibility issues. Training teams can provide hands-on lab exercises where every participant gets an identical setup. This kind of environment provisioning is also valuable for AI consultants who need to demonstrate AI solutions or run proof-of-concept workshops for clients.
CloudShare supports environment templates that can be cloned, customised, and shared. Once you build a base environment with your software stack, you can spin up identical copies for dozens of users simultaneously. Environments are isolated, time-limited, and automatically cleaned up, which keeps costs controlled and prevents resource sprawl. Integration with LMS platforms, CRM systems, and system integration tools allows CloudShare to fit into existing sales and training workflows.
Australian businesses with distributed teams or clients across multiple time zones benefit from CloudShare’s self-service model. Prospects can access a demo environment at any time without waiting for a sales call. Training participants across different cities get the same experience. When combined with custom AI development projects, CloudShare provides a practical way to showcase solutions to stakeholders in controlled, reproducible environments.
