Virtual Machine Hosting

A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of physical computer, providing effectively all the functionality of a hardware-based system but with reduced costs for hardware and maintenance.  Most of OEC's internal services (web / application / database, etc.) run in a VM environment for this reason. The underlying hardware for the virtual machine environment is a cluster of redundant systems to reduce the risk of outages.


OEC allocates the following resources to the VMs it provides:

Windows: 1 CPU, 8GB RAM, 50GB HDD

Linux: 2 CPUs, 2GB RAM, 16GB HDD

Extra disk space up to 100GB can be purchased in increments of 50GB (each increment is $2.20 per month). It is provided in the form of additional virtual disk space.

The absolute maximum for CPU and RAM is 2 CPUs and 32GB RAM, which can be provided on a case by case basis with proper justification.
