  3. Why are we here? You have an interest or a need for requesting Virtual Machines You have done so through UNM IT, Amazon, etc. Understanding the benefits of Virtual Machines over physical Backups Disaster Recovery Availability Support Learn about the delivery of Virtual Machines through UNM’s Private Cloud

  4. IT – Service Catalog: Hosting – Virtual Machines & LoboCloud Automation Center Virtual Machines can help departments or individuals manage their software without needing to maintain the underlying operating system, hardware and infrastructure. This allows departments to focus their staff's efforts towards their specialty while offloading the cost of day-to-day infrastructure maintenance to IT. Base Configuration $100/month for maintenance for LoboCloud provisioned machines including base OS requirements of storage, cpu, and Memory; and 7 days of nightly snapshot backups. Add-Ons include: Additional Storage: $16.66 / 250 GB; CPU: $25/per CPU; Memory $8.33/per GB

  5. What is LoboCloud? (Fastinfo #7059) LoboCloud (https://lobocloud.unm.edu/vcacselfservice) allows authorized customers to rapidly build and manage new virtual machines to their specifications. Using VMWare‘s vCloud Automation Center (vCAC), UNM – IT’s LoboCloud provides a secure portal to the IT Private Cloud, streamlining the New Virtual Machine (VM) request process. Once “On-Boarded”, customers will be able to spin up new VM within minutes. Initial offerings are Active Directory joined Windows Servers. Requested by Department Organizational Unit Administrators, aka OU Admins. Note: The LoboCloud Automation Center does NOT yet offer Linux servers, mysql databases, sqlserver on Windows, and large storage requests.
