Campus Cloud

Campus Cloud provides virtual servers and associated disk space on the secure Carnegie Mellon network.  It is a cost-effective on-site hosting solution using Computing Services’ extensive virtual infrastructure. Virtual servers appear and act the same as physical servers, but at a fraction of the cost. Campus Cloud may be used for departmental IT applications, research data, sponsored graduate projects, and web hosting.

Benefits of the Campus Cloud service include:

  • Competitive pricing - you pay only the cost of the resources you use
  • Flexible - scaled to your needs, now and in the future
  • Protected - off-site backups, controlled and maintained physical environment

Manage VMs yourself or choose Campus Cloud Plus for operating system management and optional database administration.
