What Is It?
A Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based computer that runs on a larger physical host. It functions like its own system with separate files, settings, and an operating system. Many NMSU servers run as VMs, and departments can request a VM instead of a physical server. VMs are cost-effective and easier to manage.
Who Is Eligible to Use It?
