VIRTUAL SERVER

VIRTUAL SERVER

A virtual server is the web server that share the number of computer resources with other servers, it can run the different software programs and manipulate the computer information with the high integrity and good performance on processing resources.

Virtual server has an ability of hosting more than one domain name on the same computer with the low cost

Virtual server is widely used by internet hosting service that are referred to a virtual machine and by using virtual server in a company or an individual a web site may own domain name, internet protocol address and admin their file directories, add e-mails accounts and address assignments, assign multiple domain names, manage their own logs and statics and maintain password

Users of virtual server they do not manage the hardware aspects of running server and effectively share the cost of expensive line connections to the internet

Virtual Server allows its users to utilize or create applications and handle the traffic, like a normal server.

Virtual Servers doesn’t use the entire resources on its host computer, they can be dedicated for individual client server applications. Each of the company uses the virtual servers as their client and allow easy share of resources.

Virtual servers hosting and how they actually work on the shared environment. It is a known fact that thousand and more number of users tend to use a server at a time.

Virtual server starts to hog a lot of resources of the host computer, then it can cause poor loading of web pages and other such service lagging issues.

This will cause the failure of transfer of network resource and need a times to be accomplish due to this there is recover on it  by utilize the number of powerful server that could facilitate easy loading of web pages and link to the network resource efficient

How to access virtual server

Accessing of virtual server required the operating system on the virtual machine be configured as a part of the network. For example, if you have a virtual machine running on a physical computer that is a member of an Active Directory service domain, you must join the virtual machine to the Active Directory domain to access both the physical computer and any resources in the Active Directory domain.

The following are the procedure on access the virtual server

1. On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Virtual Servers. The Virtual Server List screen opens.
2. Click the name of the virtual server you want to modify.
3. For the Destination setting, select Host and in the Address field, type the IP address for the virtual server.
4. From the HTTP Profile list, select http.
5. In the Access Policy area, from the Access Profile list, select the access profile.
6. From the Connectivity Profile list, select the connectivity profile.
7. If you are creating a virtual server to use with portal access resources in addition to remote desktops, from the Rewrite Profile list, select the default rewrite profile, or another rewrite profile you created.
8. If you use server SSL for this connection, from the SSL Profile (Server) list, select a server SSL profile.
9. If you use client SSL for this profile, from the SSL Profile (Client) list, select a client SSL profile.
10. If you want to provide connections to VDI desktop resources or Java RDP clients for Application Access, or allow Java rewriting for Portal Access, select the VDI & Java Support check box. You must enable this setting to make socket connections from a patched Java applet. If your applet doesn't require socket connections, or only uses HTTP to request resources, this setting is not required.
11. If you want to provide native integration with an OAM server for authentication and authorization, select the OAM Support check box. You must have an OAM server configured in order to enable OAM support.
12. Click Update.

Your access policy is now associated with the virtual server.

Benefits of Virtual Servers

• Improved efficiency in the power consumption & need for cooling solutions, which all pave way in saving costs for the organization.

• Faster Server deployment - Virtual servers can allow fast deployment in the server environment. This makes the IT department go for quick & efficient work environment and thus makes way for a speedy growth of a company in this highly competitive world.
• Reduces downtime effects – Downloading of the data source are maintained in such the can fast speed
• Reduces cost – the cost of run the software and downloading resource are done with low cost

Configure Virtual Machine Sharing

When you enable virtual machine sharing and remote access, Workstation starts VMware Workstation Server and configures the service to start with the host system.

When you disable virtual machine sharing and remote access, Workstation disables virtual machine sharing and stops VMware Workstation Server. You cannot create shared virtual machines and remote users cannot connect to the host system.

Procedure

1	. Select Edit > Preferences > Shared VMs.
2	To enable or disable virtual machine sharing and remote access, click Enable Sharing or Disable Sharing (Windows host), or select or deselect Enable virtual machine sharing and . . . .  . Remote   . . . Access (Linux host).
3	To change the HTTPS port that VMware Workstation Server uses on the host system, select a different port from the drop-down menu. Note If you change the port to a non-default value, remote users must specify the port number when . . . . . .They connect to the host system, for example, host:port.
4	To change the shared virtual machines directory, type or browse to the location of the new shared virtual machines directory (Windows host), or type the new directory in the text box and . Click . . .Apply (Linux host).
5	. Click OK to save your changes
