Conclusion

3. What is Cloud Computing ?
• Provide Computing and software resources that are
delivered on demand, as service rather than a product.
• Main Services provided by Cloud Computing
 Software as a Service (SaaS)
 Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

4. What is Cloud Computing ?

5. Impact on Education
• Problem with traditional education system
 Lack of GoodTeacher
 Lack of Lab Facility
 Lack of latest book
 Lack of infrastructure
• Cloud computing can provide solution to these problems.

7. Benefits of Cloud Computing for
Institutions and Students
• Personalized Learning
 students can access a wide array of resources and software tools
that suit their learning styles and interests.
• Reduced Costs
 Help institutes to reduce costs and accelerate the use of new
technologies to meet evolving educational needs.
 Students can use applications like MS Office for free without having
to purchase.
• Accessibility
 From anywhere one can login and access the information.
• No Extra Infrastructure
 Colleges and governments are now free from wasting time on
worrying about the buildings, labs, teachers etc.
• User Friendly
 It is easy to understand and easy to operate.

9. Impact on Healthcare
 Information at right movement
 Increases adoption of EHR (ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS)
 Quick Access to Medical History
 EHR is accessible through any device through Internet
 Higher level of interaction
 Any time anywhere access to DATA
 Interoperability in Health departments
 Facilitates the sharing of EHRs among physicians and hospitals
 High accuracy
 Single truth of data
 Reduces Human errors
 Reduces data sharing Errors between Hospitals
 Reliability

10. Impact on Healthcare
 Secure data storage and access
 Disaster Recovery
 Private Cloud
 High level Encryption across connections
 Reduce IT cost
 Pay-Per-Use services
 NO Buying & Upgrading of softwares
 NO Additional IT staff required to manage systems
 Electronic record reduces Paper costs

11. Impact on e-Governance
• e-governance is the application of information and communication
technology for delivering government services.
• Exchange of information between
• government-to-customer (G2C), e.g. birth/death/move reporting, tax
payments, building permits
• Government-to-business (G2B), e.g. company registration, tax
payments, permit requests, building permits

cloud reduces capital outlays
 Minimize Labor Cost
 Government does not have to spend on management cost and
overhead
 High availability
 Cloud guarantees uptimes in the range of 99%
 Interoperability
 Between multiple agencies and departments.
 Scalability
 Handles the uncertainty in demand and load in e-Governance.

14. Conclusion
• The cloud is offering great new low cost flexible solutions
to all these area
• Cloud architectures will benefit in reducing operating
costs and increasing the capability and productivity.
• In short “ Cloud computing is the future of education ,
healthcare and e-governance”
