Costing

The University of Hull have invested in the DSH core infrastructure service which means it is available to all UoH staff. There are two types of connections to the DSH: the core platform which is free and the project specific platform which has a cost. These are both described below.

Type of accessUpon log off, the connection can be used by someone else. During times of high demand you may not be able to access the DSH at the time you wish and a booking system will be implemented.When you log out your machine will continue to run. No one else will be able to access your machine. This means you can leave code running without needing to be logged in.
