3 CDW’S 2013 STATE OF THE CLOUD REPORT Using Cloud in Eduction : Services
• Used Cloud services:
• E-learning (moodle, MOOC… )
• Unified communication tools
• Collaboration tools
• Storage solutions
In the field of education, Software-as-a-Service is a more preferred model.
4 Using Cloud in Education Deployment models • First approach: The use of public Cloud • Benefits: Reduce CAPEX Elasticity Risk and management outsourcing • Limits: Poor control level Data ownership No services specific for education
5 Using Cloud in Education Deployment models
• Second approach: The use of private Cloud • Benefits: High control level Data ownership Specific services
• Limites: High CAPEX Limited elasticity Complex administration and management tasks
