Discussing Implementing VDCs using Ionos This is a presentation for the paper published in UGC- Care 1 Journal titled "Virtual Data Center: Implementation of DCaaS using Ionos".

1. Virtual Data Center:
Implementation
of DCaaS using
Ionos
Part – 2 Working and Implementing Ionos Cloud VDCs

2. Implementation
of a VDC

3. Scenario: A VDC for a client
￮ A client wanted a cloud based solution to run their
business application (whose load needs to be
distributed over multiple IPs) over Windows remotely,
and be expandable whenever more users were
added.
￮ This was a perfect scenario for us to choose an
Ionos VDC. We could build the infrastructure using
medium sized servers with up to 6 cores and 16gb
ram each.
￮ This prompted us to use an XL cube, as it had
adequate performance with faster direct attached
storage.
￮ We started building this server to accommodate 10
users, and expanding the number of users would be
simply adding another cube and connecting it to the
network. 3

4. Implementation
PT 1. Provisioning the Server
Choosing the server and resources, configuring the network,
choosing Windows Server 2022 as the OS, provisioning the
server. This will display all the main features of Ionos and how it
works to configure a VDC
4

5. 5
Log onto dcd.ionos.com
This opens the data center, enter your credentials associated
with Ionos and continue

6. 6
Create a datacenter
Use the datacenter designer to create and open a new VDC.
Choose your physical data center location

7. 7
Build your datacenter
Use the building blocks of computer components located on the
left of the workspace, in the palette.

8. 8
Set up a NIC
Use the properties manager on the right to set up and configure a
virtual network interface card.

9. 9
Choose your Image
Use the OS of your choice. For the clients use, we went with
Windows Server 2022

10. Implementation
PT 2. Configuring RDS services
Configuring a public LAN, working with Ionos console, installing
Remote Desktop Services, using Remote Desktop connections to
connect to the server. This will help in showing some of the
external features of Ionos, such as the IP manager and VNC
console.

11. 11
Open the IP Manager
To configure the public IP, which can be used for hosting or
remote access.

12. 12
Configure the IP
Configure the public IP, select the region and the number of IPs
in block and proceed. You pay for every IP connected

13. 13
Use the VNC Console
Open the VNC console located on the right over the power
button. You’ll be granted access to the server’s OS.

14. 14
Set up Windows Services
Open and configure the Server Roles from the server manager.
For example- Remote Desktop Services

15. 15
Establish a Remote Desktop Connection
After installing the remote desktop services, use the Ionos configured public
IP and log on with the admin account using the RDC app.
