Abstract

See full text

A hosting system is provided. The hosting system includes a grid of hardware nodes for provisioning virtual servers including a first virtual server for a first user and a second virtual server for a second user. The hosting system further includes dedicated servers including a first dedicated server for the first user and a second dedicated server for the second user. A switch, in response to the first virtual server and the second virtual server having overlapping virtual local area network (VLAN) identifications (IDs), defines a first broadcast domain for the first user and a second broadcast domain for the second user, places the first virtual server and the first dedicated server in the first broadcast domain, and places the second virtual server and the second dedicated server in the second broadcast domain.
