New Permissions 

Account and project managers have a new module in CloudShare specifically designed to simplify permissions management. All role-based settings can now be found on a single, easy-to-use page, accompanied by new capabilities for more granular control like permissions for environment creation and handling.

More Languages

CloudShare has expanded its language offerings with the addition of simplified Chinese and Spanish interfaces. Users can quickly select their preference from our multilingual environment viewer, which also includes English, German, French and Japanese.

Expanding with Commodity Clouds

In June, we extended our virtual IT labs to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By providing our powerful features transparently over GCP, users can spin up real-world, immersive virtual training and sales experiences in seconds. To work with the commodity cloud in CloudShare, simply select GCP as a resource for your environments and begin benefitting instantly.

We’ve enhanced our GCP solution security with support for two-factor authentication, too. We’ve also made control over resource consumption easier with quota limits, actions and notifications. And, you can now use your Google software developer kit scripts to create CloudShare environments on GCP.

But that’s not all. Our commodity cloud expansion is continuing with a Microsoft Azure integration planned for November. We’ll be sharing further details soon!
