CSU Servers & Support
Virtual Machine (VM)
A virtual machine behaves exactly as a physical computer and contains it's own virtual CPU, memory, hard disk, and network card. This allows CSU to run 10 to 12 virtual servers, each offering different OS and applications, on a single physical server.
CSU Virtualization Options
| Dedicated VM Hosting |
Dedicated VM : A dedicated VM is a server which runs its own OS. This could be a Windows or Linux server with full administrator privileges. A single VM could host multiple applications or databases for a group or department. |
| Shared VM Hosting |
Application: A single application that runs concurrently with other groups' applications using the same OS, storage, databases, and other resources. Each group maintains access to their application only. Web Site : A simple static web site or wiki, with no database or dynamic elements. |
Information on service costs can be found on the CSU rates page.
