Virtual Machines

A service of RHRZ is the operation of virtual machines under VMware ESX / vSphere. This service is only available to employees of the TU. You will receive an "empty" VM, which you install yourself. The operator of the VM is responsible for the correct licensing of the operating system and application software.

•     2.90 EUR per vCPU and month (maximum 4 vCPUs)
