Description:
Physical departmental servers are hosted in data centers on the CU Denver and CU Anschutz campuses. These data centers feature redundant power, cooling, and secure data center access. Services included in the cost are rack space, network connectivity, system administration, proactive monitoring, and monthly operating system patching.
Virtual servers are offered as an alternative to physical servers. They function as an independent server on a single physical server and in many cases are more cost effective than physical servers. Services included in the cost are physical redundancy, system administration, network connectivity, proactive monitoring, and monthly operating system patching. Additional storage, processors, and RAM, beyond what is included in the default configuration can be requested.
