Server Hosting Policies
- All hosted servers must fulfill the requirements outlined below.
- Not every customer needs their own separate server, as virtual servers (VMs) are supported technology. While we cannot offer space for a VM on our own infrastructure, people within the same department may share one server to run multiple VMs.
- TDSĀ Data Center Services cannot offer refunds.
Requirements to Host a Server in the Data Center:
ALL Servers

- Must be standard supportable hardware.
- ALL hosted servers will be subject to Medical School security requirements and HIPAA regulations.
- ALL hosted servers must undergo a Security Assessment conducted by our security and data center teams
Basic Hosting
