VSOS - SOSETH virtual machine hosting
Resource shortage
Our existing cluster has reached its capacity limits in terms of memory and IPv4 addresses. We are currently not approving new VM requests except in special cases. Expect your VM requests to be in queue for an extended period of time.
A new cluster is undergoing setup. If you want to help, send an email to
Our goal is to provide virtual servers for you students and organizations at the universities free of charge.
Do you need your own mail server because GMail is not flexible enough? Or do you need a TeamSpeak server to play with friends in your non-existent free time? Then you are in the right place with us. One email and you’re in!

Is it not enough for you to just have a VM, but what’s behind it also seems interesting?
We always need people to keep our cluster with now approx. 170 VMs running and of course to expand it.
After all, there should be capacity for every VM.
Just write to us!
Infrastructure
Our virtualization cluster has been in productive operation for several years now and hosts virtual servers for SOSETH, other student organizations, and students.

Our project is/was supported by:
e-na’bel Foundation
The expansion of our cluster was co-financed by the foundation e-na’bel. In May 2013, the CPU, storage, and RAM of the cluster were significantly expanded. A significant share of this expansion was financed by e-na’bel.
The foundation e-na’bel emerged from the AMIV publishing house and supports student projects.
IT Services of ETH Zurich
Without the IT Services of ETH Zurich, our project would hardly be possible. Both our space in the server room and the network connection of our cluster are provided to us by ETH-ID, and the people at ID are also a great help to us in other technical matters.
