Data Center and Web Server Virtualizatin This sectin lists the virtualizatin specificatins fr the Cnnected Backup Data Center and Web Servers: All Cnnected Backup servers may run as virtual machines. Mst mdern virtual machine implementatins supprt Cnnected Backup servers. Fr any limitatins that may prevent Cnnected Backup frm functining crrectly, cnsult yur VM sftware prvider. The dedicated resurces, such as CPU, memry, bandwidth, and strage must meet the minimum requirements. Als, they must be dedicated t exclusive use fr Cnnected Backup and nt pled with ther virtual machines (althugh a VM hst culd include ther virtual machines). It is suggested that all VM instances f Cnnected Backup meet the recmmended rather than the minimum resurce requirements. Virtualizatin f client machines is nt supprted fr Cnnected Backup Agents due t knwn issues in the virtual machines. SSO Service Prvider This sectin identifies the cnfiguratin requirements fr Cnnected Backup t utilize a Single Sign-On Service Prvider such as Ping Federate. This enables the Cnnected Backup Data Center t have Single Sign-On (SSO) cmmunities and technician IDs.
