Virtual server
When you request a virtual machine you have two options: “Managed” or “Unmanaged.” Regardless of choice, OIT Enterprise Infrastructure team (OIT EI) will create the virtual container for the guest OS. With “Managed,” OIT EI will do the OS installation, while with “Unmanaged,” a bare-metal instance of the VM will be provided.

If “Managed” option is chosen, OIT Enterprise Infrastructure team will be responsible for the following:
- Virtual container for guest operating system
- Windows or Red Hat/CentOS install
