* [[w:Windows 7 Enterprise]] and [[w:Microsoft Office 2013]] are used pervasively in HH. Maybe even too so if one is a [[w:FOSS]] oriented engineering student at HH.
*[[w:Cloud computing]] multiple [[w:abstraction]] layers provide ability to move virtual servers around the cloud. It can anticipate breaking down of single physical components and move the services to a sound, functional piece of server hardware in advance to the physcial component breaking up. In addition to these fault surviving technology cloud computing is very [[w:ecological]]ly efficient as several, even tens of [[w:virtual servers]] can live on one physical machine instead of expensive server hardware sitting idly as the load is much lower then the total processing power by a factor of 10x or so. The [[w:Microsoft Office 2010]] at HH is '''from-cloud'''. With cloud computing [[w:Infrastructure as a Service]] is feasible.
 
* HH has purchased licenses for nearly everything that MSFT sells. ( Check Mynet for more info ? )

The scp uses underlying [[w:Secure Shell|ssh]] tool for security and encryption which can be used to securely connect to a shell on a server.

In the [[w:business model]] using software as a service, users are provided access to application software and databases.  The cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which the applications run.  SaaS is sometimes referred to as “on-demand software” and is usually priced on a pay-per-use basis.  SaaS providers generally price applications using a subscription fee.
