ARCHIVED: At IU, what is the difference between II-Enterprise and II-Basic?
This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.
The following table shows the capabilities of two Intelligent Infrastructure (II) levels of service, II-Enterprise and II-Basic.
| II-Enterprise | II-Basic | |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | Enterprise: Thousands
of concurrent sessions |
Departmental: Hundreds of
concurrent sessions
|
| Hypervisor design | Designed for enterprise-class systems (e.g.,
billing records, ERP systems, grades). II-Enterprise is more robustly
engineered than many departments or lab groups need for departmental
server or web hosting.
|
Designed for departmental and lab needs, priced
and engineered to be reliable but not as robust and heavily engineered
as one needs for processing grades or paychecks. II-Basic is a
chargeback service, priced at a cost below the current price for
II-Enterprise.

|
High density workload profile that
reduces cost by limiting the size of virtual servers and increasing
the virtual server to physical server ratio.
