Cloud Computing Paradigm for Indian Education Sector
Vijayalakshmi Ravi · International Journal of Cloud Applications and Computing · 2012
The Indian education sector is constrained by cost but demand has been rising for cost-effective, robust software applications to deliver services for learning and administration. Existing systems are not scalable and require huge capex (Capital Expenditure) and IT staff to maintain the system, which has shifted the focus from the core education business to managing the overheads of IT operations. The Cloud Computing paradigm has emerged as the optimal solution to meet the requirements of cost effective, scalable, and secure systems. In this paper, the author examines how the deployment of cloud computing in the education sector in India can meet these challenges.
