CRM Integration: Salesforce.com vs. Windows PowerShell

YouTube DEMO:
http://youtu.be/SYNQqf_o_MQ

Key design:
1. Salesforce trigger -> Cutomer Object -> Outbound Message -> "CloudChoir" -> SSH ->... whatever behind SSH.
2. NOT using Salesforce Apex callout, so the Callout "runtime governor limit" is not an issue.

Use cases:
1. Any Private cloud and local corp network Apps (such as Windows Server, or SharePoint, or Exchange,  Database, SCOM, ...etc) with SSH as gateway. Either VMs or physical boxes.
2. Any Public cloud VMs, such as Windows Azure VM, Amazon EC2 VM, ... etc. (same, any App accessible from Windows Batch or PowerShell.)

Dependency:
1. Free AppExchange app: CloudChoir - Saleforce Integration Foundation (under AppExchange review. developed also by Konafornia LLC.)
2. A web facing SSH/PowerShell endpoint: Power Shell Server (recommended) or OpenSSH Server (free)
