What is VSDM?

The original problem to be solved was to create a system that provides security to Virtual Server in a way that the users can manage their Virtual Machines (create, start, stop, delete) without interfering with the other user’s VM or the host system.

The original Virtual Server administration is very powerful, yet very complex to use. Along with all the power it provides, it is complicated to manage to a regular user (not acquainted with administration processes) and therefore suitable to mistakes. One of the most critical mistakes this infra-structure provides support to avoid is when a user inadvertently modifies or damages other user’s machines.

After that, the system started evolving to include other features. It ended being transformed to a system that deploys Virtual Machines for users based on a newly developed concept of templates. To run this infrastructure, you’ll need just an IIS Web Server, .NET Framework 1.1 and Virtual Server installed. No extra hardware or software is required.

The user interface is clean and simple, providing power to the user and reducing the learning curve to use the infrastructure. Some knowledge of Web browsing and minimum knowledge of the hardware you need for your VM and type of machine is enough to create your own Virtual Machines on it with simple.

There is no limit on the solution or number of user’s supported. If a restriction exists, it should be on the system that runs the Virtual Machines. As long as the system can support the Virtual Machines execution, VSDM will support it.
