Virtual Servers Overview
When you use virtual servers you can offer companies or individuals domain
names, IP addresses, and some server monitoring capabilities with a single
installed server. For the users, it is almost as if they have their own Enterprise
Servers, though you provide the hardware and basic Enterprise Server
maintenance.
NOTE
If you are not using virtual servers, you still use the items in the
Class Manager to configure content, programs, and other features
for your Enterprise Server instance. When you install the Enterprise
Server, a default virtual server for the instance is created. You
manage the content and services for this default virtual server
using the virtual server user interface.
