Virtual server

Storage and backupsServers & storage

University Systems operates a Private Cloud based on VMware ESX. Departments may request virtual servers on this cloud to run their applications. If your group does not have a trained sysadmin, the VM must be maintained by the central sysadmins (see /systems/services/storagebackup/systemadmin/index.php).

Various versions of Linux and Microsoft Windows are supported. The base configuration provides 1 CPU and 4GB RAM, but customized servers are available if required.
