2 Using Cloud in Education

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, -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
