ABSTRACT

This research ai%s to&ard a co%prehensive

literature revie& 'or the analysis ho&the cloud helps ensure that students,

teachers, 'aculty, parents, and sta'' have on

de%and access to critical in'or%ation usingany device 'ro% any&here. This revie& o'

the literature and concurrent &idespread

discussions &ith )T leaders suggests that

cloud co%puting is an i%portantdevelop%ent &ith the shi't 'ro% %ain'ra%e

to client server *ased co%puting.

The o*jective o' our research is to study and

analysis on Cloud co%puting and ho& it is

i%portant 'or our education sector. )n si%pleter%s cloud co%puting ena*les you to

access so't&are applications, hard&are, data

and co%puter processing po&er on the &e*,rather than loading so't&are onto your o&n

co%puter or school server.

The use o' cloud co%puting in schools anduniversities su*stantially increases

availa*ility o' necessary educational

co%puting services and applications tostudents and educators through the

in'rastructure it provides.

What is cloud computing?

Cloud co%puting is a *road ter% that

descri*es the shi't 'ro% conventionaldes+top *ased co%puting and storage

syste%s to services and data accessed

through the )nternet. The cloud- is the

net&or+ &here applications, data andservices are accessed online. Cloud

co%puting services are essentially any

service that can *e delivered and consu%ed

over the internet in realti%e/. Cloudco%puting- is the entire 'ra%e&or+ that

ena*les these services to e0ist and *e

consu%ed. Cloud co%puting services areo''ered at three di''erent levels1

Infrastructure as a service 2

service that includes storage, servers andnet&or+s 'or )T use, &ith capacity that

can *e scaled up or do&n &hen re3uired.

Platform as a service Services that

allo& developers to create applications,regardless o' the usual hard&are and

in'rastructure pro*le%s that hinder

develop%ent.

Software as service 2n application

that e0ists &ithin a &e**ased inter'ace,

&ith storage and interaction occurringentirely &ithin the cloud.

The so't&are service level is %ost li+ely to*e used *y consu%ers. 4e**ased e%ail,

calendars, photo and video storage, socialnet&or+ing sites, and applications o''ered *y

providers li+e 5oogle are enor%ouslypopular. 6%erging cloud applications

)nclude o''ice productivity so't&are, and

even co%ple0, specialist tools such asPhotoshop. )n the 7S, 8ealth vault and

5oogle 8ealth allo& users to store and

update their %edical records online, &hichcan *e accessed *y and shared &ith doctors,

health pro'essionals and 'a%ily.

Education Wh! Cloud Computing?

There are a lot o' good reasons &hy schools,*oth in the lo&er and higher education

sectors, should adopt cloud co%puting and

di''erent *ene'its, as &ell as so%e o' the

disadvantages and li%itations o' using cloudco%puting. 8o&ever, it is un&ise and

illogical to go on &ith the a'ore%entioned

su*jects &ithout understanding the %eaningo' the &ord cloud co%puting. Brie'ly

de'ined, cloud co%puting has a lot to do

&ith the internet. )n 'act, the internet has*een re'erred to as cloud- in recent years

*ecause, a'ter all, everyone can access it.

Cloud co%puting has actually evolved 'ro%

the original concept o' the internet, and itspurpose has *een %ade *roader. Basically,

cloud co%puting allo&s people to access the

internet and %ost ? i' not all ? o' its

resources any&here and anyti%e.
