What is Cloud Computing

Impact on Education

Impact on Healthcare

Impact on e-Governance

Conclusion

What is Cloud Computing ?

• Provide Computing and software resources that are delivered on demand, as service rather than a product.

• Main Services provided by Cloud Computing Software as a Service (SaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

What is Cloud Computing ?

Impact on Education

• Problem with traditional education system Lack of Good Teacher

Lack of Lab Facility

Lack of latest book

Lack of infrastructure

• Cloud computing can provide solution to these problems.

Benefits of Cloud Computing for Institutions and Students

• Personalized Learning students can access a wide array of resources and software

tools that suit their learning styles and interests.

• Reduced Costs Help institutes to reduce costs and accelerate the use of new

technologies to meet evolving educational needs.

Students can use applications like MS Office for free without having to purchase.

• Accessibility From anywhere one can login and access the information.

• No Extra Infrastructure Colleges and governments are now free from wasting time

on worrying about the buildings, labs, teachers etc.

• User Friendly It is easy to understand and easy to operate.

Impact on Healthcare

Impact on Healthcare Information at right movement

Increases adoption of EHR (ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS)

Quick Access to Medical History

EHR is accessible through any device through Internet

Higher level of interaction Any time anywhere access to DATA

Interoperability in Health departments

Facilitates the sharing of EHRs among physicians and hospitals

High accuracy Single truth of data

Reduces Human errors

Reduces data sharing Errors between Hospitals

Reliability

Impact on Healthcare

Secure data storage and access Disaster Recovery

Private Cloud

High level Encryption across connections

Reduce IT cost Pay-Per-Use services

NO Buying & Upgrading of softwares

NO Additional IT staff required to manage systems

Electronic record reduces Paper costs

Impact on e-Governance

• e-governance is the application of information and communication technology for delivering government services.

• Exchange of information between

• government-to-customer (G2C), e.g. birth/death/move reporting, tax payments, building permits

• Government-to-business (G2B), e.g. company registration, tax payments, permit requests, building permits

• Government-to-government (G2G).

Minimize Labor Cost Government does not have to spend on management

cost and overhead

High availability Cloud guarantees uptimes in the range of 99%

Interoperability Between multiple agencies and departments.

Scalability Handles the uncertainty in demand and load in e-

Governance.

Conclusion

• The cloud is offering great new low cost flexible solutions to all these area

• Cloud architectures will benefit in reducing operating costs and increasing the capability and productivity.

• In short “ Cloud computing is the future of education , healthcare and e-governance”
