Prateek Bhanti, Sushma Lehri, Narendra Kumar · 2011
This article focuses on the future scope of cloud computing for universities in India. Such new technology can be utilized in management of educational activities using IT for modernization and development of educational systems with increased volume of data. By means of cloud computing, an IT administrator can deal with the maintenance of the university components like labs, library, and research facilities at various locations in the university. The implementation of cloud computing will help the universities by reducing the expenditure with decreasing their demand for software licensing and it has operational benefits. Here, we suggest that, in developing countries like India, the concept of cloud computing will offer pooling of resources, which will ultimately cut the incurred expenditure. Cloud computing services can provide inter-organizational collaborations and thus they will enhance the research level of the country.
