Remote access via VNC
VNC is a remote connection protocol that allows to display the
screen of a virtual server and control it remotely through the
browser. There is no need to install any application or plugin ,
only a modern browser with HTML 5 support is required. To
remote access a virtual machine , click on the VNC button (see
item 8 in the previous graphic). To view the screens of multiple
virtual machines simultaneously press the Ctrl key while
you click on the corresponding VNC icon, so each screen is opened
in a separate tab.
You can use the "Windows" and "Ctrl + Alt + Del" buttons to send those keystrokes to the VM operating system.
Virtual Machine Statistics
All virtual machines are automatically added to our statistics
system, so you can monitor VM resource usage, like CPU, disk,
memory and network.
To access the monitoring system, go to your virtual machine
screen, and click on the Statistics icon.
CACTI screen is displayed.
