SolusVM 2 is a powerful GUI-based VPS management system that supports Linux KVM and OpenVZ virtualization technologies. SolusVM 2 allows you and your clients to manage a VPS cluster with security and ease.
A SolusVM 2 cluster operates with one management server (referred to as a Management Node) and multiple managed servers (referred to as Compute Resources) used for running VPS instances.
SolusVM Management node
SolusVM 2 Management Node is responsible for managing the entire SolusVM 2 cluster, from creating and managing VPS instances to monitoring and resource allocation. Every SolusVM 2 cluster requires exactly one Management Node.
SolusVM 2 provides two types of Management Node licenses:
| Management Node License Types | ||
| Type | Included Options | Cost |
| Management Node | Allows adding Compute Resources to the Management node. | $2.50/month |
| Management Node w/ Virtualization | Allows adding Compute Resources to the Management node and running an unlimited number of KVM VPS on the Management node. | $10.00/month |
SolusVM Compute Resources
SolusVM 2 Compute Resources are servers used for creating and running virtual servers. The number of Compute Resource in the cluster depends on the number of add-on licenses purchased. Each add-on license allows you to add one Compute Resource node.
SolusVM 2 Compute Resource support Linux KVM and OpenVZ virtualizations, offering a flexible and powerful solution for VPS hosting. SolusVM 2 provides three types of Compute Resource add-on licenses:
| Compute Resource Add-on License Types | ||
| Type | Included Options | Cost |
| Compute Resource -Micro | Allows running a maximum of 2 VPS on the Compute Resource. | $2.50/month |
| Compute Resource - Mini | Allows running a maximum of 5 VPS on the Compute Resource. | $5.00/month |
| Compute Resource - Unlimited | Allows running an unlimited number of VPS on the Compute Resource. | $10.00/month |
