Virtual Demos in the Cloud
Vitualization is the key element of any cloud computing scenario. The ability to move from physical servers, storage, and software to web-based solutions is the main appeal of the cloud. It also makes technology and IT resources more scalable , and therefore more cost effective. Add to this the variety of services available and it seems logical that more and more companies are shifting to cloud-based software and systems.
In addition to offering cloud-based applications, storage, and IT services , the cloud can provide centralized platforms to replace old models of training, client demos, and labs. On demand training hosted in the cloud removes the need for stand alone training centers and allows employees and students to attend training and workshops on a more flexible schedule.
The virtual software demo is perhaps the most important development for many companies. It allows software companies to create branded demos that are completely customized for either potential clients or investors. They can also be used to test certain elements of the software during development. It’s also great for companies who are considering buying software, as they can test a new program thoroughly without having to install it on their own servers or devote IT resources to the trial.
