Virtual Server Hosting

Virtual Server Hosting provides Temple University departments with access to secure, scalable, and cost-effective virtual server environments. This service is a reliable alternative to purchasing and maintaining physical servers, offering centralized provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management. It supports a range of university computing needs while aligning with institutional security and performance standards.

This service is available to Temple University faculty, staff, and approved university departments. Access and permissions are managed based on user roles and are tailored to align with academic or administrative requirements.

Departments can request virtual server hosting by submitting a service request through Temple’s IT support system. Virtual machines are provisioned according to standardized configurations and allocated resources. Ongoing support, monitoring, and security compliance are provided by the university’s infrastructure team. Access is protected by multi-factor authentication and controlled via role-based permissions.

• Resource availability, such as CPU, memory, and storage, is subject to defined quotas and system capacity.
• This service does not include support for personal devices, software licensing, or integration with systems outside of Temple’s infrastructure.
• Custom application development and zero-downtime guarantees are also out of scope. All requests must comply with current policies and resource availability.
