What does the H stand for? I did a websearch and can't find any relevant website using the term.

I think they are talking about Hardware as a Service. Essentially a new way to describe hardware leasing that has been going on for decades.

Frankly, if that is what the OP is looking to research, I'd start with leasing companies and how they function as that is the basic model.

Hardware as a service. Leasing model sounds good to start with. Hard thing for me here is how to combine software services with the leased hardware product.
