Abstract: | The demand of educational institutions for high computing power
significantly increased due to the expansion of use of digital technologies
for sharing information and knowledge among the faculty, students and
researchers as well as handling traditional business processes. Coping up
with rapidly growing data processing requirements of the universities in
developing nations through building their own in-house data center with
maximum possible scalability, flexibility, reliability and accessibility
became costly and complicated. Cloud computing is available as an option
with on-demand computing power, quick implementation, quick and
effective communication, low maintenance, fewer IT staff, and lower cost.
But in the absence of an explicit strategy, the potential benefits of cloud
computing models may be elusive. This paper’ therefore, is aimed at
exploring the strategy for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to migrate
their IT services to public cloud. The results of this study can be of great
interest for decision makers of HEIs to make the best possible decision by
using the public cloud in their own context. |
