Virtual Machine

Cloud Based Virtual Machine

A cloud based virtual machine (VM) is NOT the same as a Virtual Private Server (VPS).   A VM is a digital version of a physical computer.   A server is partitiioned to create multiple VM's, and you are given secure access to one of those virtual machines.   You remotely connect to the VM, install the operating system (OS) that you want (Windows, Linux, etc.), and then completely ocnfigure it like you would a laptop or PC.   Also known as Daas (Desktop as a Service).
