IUX IT Managed Virtual Environment service develops a virtualization software to create an abstraction layer over computer hardware. It enables the hardware elements of a single computer— processors, memory, storage, etc. to be divided into multiple virtual computers, usually called virtual machines (VMs). We generally manage your virtual environment on VMware, Hyper V, and Citrix.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I access my virtual machine?
You have to establish a distant connection using Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) for a Windows VM. A maximum of two concomitant connections is supported unless the server is configured as a Remote Desktop Services session host. If you’re familiar with Hyper-V, you might be looking for a tool similar to VMConnect.
Can I use the temporary disk (the D: drive by default) to store data?
You can’t, and you shouldn’t. It is only temporary storage, so you would risk losing data that can’t be recovered. However, data loss can happen when the virtual machine moves to a different host. Some movement reasons include resizing a virtual machine, updating the host, or a host’s hardware failure. If you possess an application that requires using the D: drive letter, you can reassign drive letters so that the temporary disk uses something other than D: drive.
How much storage can I use with a virtual machine?
Well, each data disk can be up to 32,767 GiB. The number of data disks you can use depends on the size of the VMs. Nevertheless, you can utilize multiple Managed Disks with each Virtual Machine.
What are the requirements to run Hyper-V?
Hyper-V must be installed on a currently supported version of Windows Server Datacenter. Microsoft recommends at least 2 GB of RAM on your server.
How many virtual machines can a server run?
The number of virtual machines a server can run changes depending upon server processors, RAM, and hard disk space.
Is the RAM customizable on each virtual machine?
Yes. You can use Hyper-V to customize the system resources for each virtual machine, including memory.
What advantages are there to providing private network access to virtual machines?
Well, providing private network access to virtual machines enables virtual machines to communicate with each other. Private network access allows virtual machines to communicate with other internal systems such as NAS and iSCSI and any other servers you have.
