IBM launches Agile development platform in collaboration with Cloudshare

IBM and Cloudshare recently announced their partnership to provide a cloud-based agile development environment that can be set up in minutes. Typically, "set in minutes" is an exaggeration to say, but in the Cloudshare virtual Machine Template Library, this can be done easily.

Cloud computing solves some of the more frustrating aspects of traditional application development, says Cloudshare CEO Guri Stark: "In general, getting additional resources and new versions of servers and software is expensive and takes a long time." But our cloud computing services can launch new virtual machines in a matter of minutes. ”

Yes, you can use Amazon's AWS, but you'll spend hours or days doing the same thing, and using cloudshare takes less than 10 minutes. IBM and Cloudshare provide free trial service.

And, by calculating, it's priced more affordable than Amazon, for 59 dollars per month or 490 dollars per year, enjoying 8GB of RAM, 300G hard drives.

Users can include Windows XP, CentOS, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 and more than 60 virtual machine templates for autonomous selection.

In addition, IBM and Cloudshare provide Rational team concert (RTC): A complete development environment for teams, combining agile methodologies and formal and mixed planning and reporting on a single platform. Cloudshare The preconfigured RTC 4.0 environment provides a virtual machine for preinstalled RTC, a client-and Eclipse-integrated development Environment, an RTC plug-in, and code samples. Cloudshare says this will allow developers to start coding in minutes and make it easier to start new virtual machines for testing and evaluation.
