Abstract
Cloud computing is becoming an adoptable technology for many of the organizations with its dynamic scalability and usage of
virtualized resources as a service through the Internet. It will likely have a significant impact on the educational environment in
the future. Cloud computing is an excellent alternative for educational institutions which are especially under budget shortage in
order to operate their information systems effectively without spending any more capital for the computers and network devices.
Universities take advantage of available cloud-based applications offered by service providers and enable their own
users/students to perform business and academic tasks. In this paper, we will review what the cloud computing infrastructure will
provide in the educational arena, especially in the universities where the use of computers are more intensive and what can be
done to increase the benefits of common applications for students and teachers.
