Even if hosted externally, I'd expect the machines to "logically belong" to the Technion (e.g., in the "technion.ac.il" sense as well as in every legal sense) and be accessible from (at least some) computers that are physically connected to the internal Technion network, as well as from computers that can be connected to the Technion network (students' laptops, etc.). What do you expect from external hosting that you cannot do in your lab, securely? I can easily imagine that Amazon or other external hosting may be cost-effective compared to an internal VM (or other) farm. But cost is not stated as the primary issue here. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org
