Description
Virtual server hosting in UMKC's private cloud provides a number of advantages over non-centralized physical or virtual hardware:
- Virtual servers are not tied to any specific hardware that can fail.
- Near-instantaneous upgrades can be performed on CPU, memory, & storage
- Consistent cost (no lifecycle gotcha cost every 3 to 5 years)
- VM's use less power and produce less heat than physical servers
Who Has Access
UMKC academic units, UMKC non-academic units, and entities with ties to the University can request VM hosting services.
