Just found this http://www.cloudshare.com/Products/CloudShare-Pro/CloudShare-Pro-overview.aspx and have been having a bit of a play with it. Lets you set up VM's like Win2k8, CentOS, SQL etc etc, up to 6 different machines at a time.

They beta is free at the mo and only requires email address to sign up. Have a look if it is your cup of tea.

Like many other services these days I can't find anywhere how much does it cost - it seems the CloudShare Enterprise is already live...

Created a SQL server VM and it's a nice box with good bandwidth. Tried to create a Server 2008 Enterprise box and it failed though. Will try again.

Hi,
My name is Ophir Kra-Oz and VP products for CloudShare.
Thanks everyone for the kind words.
We are finalizing the pricing for CloudShare Pro, that's why it is not available on the site yet
( and the fact that's its free for now

).
One the the beta goals is to get feedback from the community on the what value you get out of it and what price points are best for you.

Please contact me at ophir@cloudshare.com for any type of feedback.
I would also be glad to share our current thoughts on pricing.
Ophir

Hell, and welcome here... I've created an environment, loaded a few machines, updated the OS and played around. Quite impressed with bandwidth available to the platform too.

Will test more during the weekend.

I just registered and the confirmation mail arrived instantly. Did you check the spambox?

P.S. I wonder how can they afford the Microsoft licenses for all the VMs

Bobby, we had a small outage with the email service on Friday.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
If you haven't received your registration yet , please try again.
If you still have problems drop me an email ( or even better to support@cloudshare.com) and I'll help.
