Info about the #windows Slack channel
The Sasha compute cluster contains contains several Windows VMs, which SSI members can use to run resource-intensive software, without relying on their personal computers. This also allows members with Apple computers to run Windows software without having to Dual-Boot. This approach also enables computationally intense jobs to be run for extended periods, as the cluster maintains nearly 100% uptime.

From LA, I get 29.7ms round trip ping time to the cluster. This is quite respectable. Less than 100ms is quite good, and 15ms is about the limit of human perception.

==Connecting to a VM==
If you'd like to connect from off-campus, you need to use the [https://uit.stanford.edu/service/vpn Stanford VPN]. Stanford uses a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, which is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux clients. You can opt to use the "split-tunnel" VPN, which will only redirect Stanford traffic through the tunnel.
You also need a Remote Desktop client. On Windows, this is pre-installed. Just look for "Remote Desktop Connection." On Mac, you need to install [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466 Microsoft Remote Desktop] from the Mac App Store. On Linux, there are several RDP clients available.
Join the #windows Slack channel for more info on how to get connected. When you use an instance, post a message in the channel when you start and finish so that others don't try to use the same machine simultaneously.
