General info about computing facilities in 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:ecologically 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 uses VDI w:Desktop virtualization in some computer classrooms to bring an extremely available and responsive computing experience with w:Windows 7 Enterprise / Office 2010 ( apparently from-cloud ).

w:WinSCP is the tool of choice for moving files to network folders. If you are using OS X, Linux or FreeBSD at home you can use the pre-installed command line tool scp to get same functionality ( move files between machines securely ).

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization and analysis of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array is a model–view–controller element that can contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.
