Abstract

A method and system for enabling multiple users in a computing environment is provided. The method includes receiving software comprising an operating system, integrated development environment (IDE) software, middleware software, and database software. A virtual image instance of operating system, the IDE software, the middleware software, and the database software is provisioned to a virtual instance. User IDs for access to the operating system instance are generated. Workspaces are generated and associated with the user IDs. The middleware software and the database software are configured and the virtual image instance is enabled to accept multiple concurrent logins associated with the user IDs.
