Glossary:
- VM (Virtual Machine) : Software used to simulate a computing system that can run programmes as if it were a real computer. The processes that it is capable of running are limited by the available resources.
- Subscription: This is a merely administrative concept to help better manage products. The creation of a Servers subscription (for example) establishes the contractual basis for deploying, monitoring and managing computing resources, storage, networks and security through virtual machines. A subscription can include multiple servers, and an organisation can have multiple server subscriptions (intended for exceptional cases where companies need to issue separate invoices or need to manage different permissions for different subscriptions).
