Virtual Machine (Compute)
Virtual Machines (VM) provide the basic IT Infrastructure that can be used by the Government Organizations to run their variety of workloads such as compute-intensive workload, memory-intensive workload, general-purpose workload, etc. All Virtual Machine packages, listed below, are Managed Virtual Machines. CSPs are required to list their prices on GeM platform keeping this in mind. These VMs will be provided with following mandatory inclusions without any extra cost. This service can be used by the Government Organizations to access the virtualized servers offered by the Cloud Service Providers.
