Cloud Computing Advantages and Challenges for Developing Nations
Keywords:
Cloud Computing, advantages of cloud computing, challenges of cloud computing, cloud computing for developing nations, e-educationAbstract
In this paper I have discussed a new wave in the field of information technology: cloud computing. I have also described its advantages and some issues & we shall examine the current state of and the opportunities afforded by cloud computing in developing economies. There is no doubt that cloud computing is the development trend for the future. Regarding the potential and impact of cloud computing in the developing world, however, findings and conclusions drawn from surveys, studies and experiences of companies are confusing and remarkably inconsistent. We can have approximately infinite computing capabilities, scalability, pay-per-use scheme and so on. Let’s take a step back to look at the evolution of the IT landscape, a necessary ingredient for enabling innovation. The hardware progression has been from the mainframe to the personal computer to more powerful clustered servers, with cost and access moving back and forth between large enterprises and corporations to small businesses and individuals. Above all governments are finally becoming aware with the implications of combining cloud computing practices with open source initiatives for their citizenry. Free of license restriction, open source access acts as a basis for innovation, enabling motivated users to customize solutions for context-specific needs. However, this wave still needs to resolve some of its existing issues with urgency to make it more appealing and suited for developing countries.
