What is "Cloud Computing"? Its effect on schools.

What is "Cloud Computing"? Advantages and disadvantages

"Cloud computing " (the English translation would be "cloud computing") is a technological trend that allows companies and users store their data in Internet servers instead of on your own PC.

Features:

• data, are in the "cloud" (Internet), although it is unknown exactly where is the information servers.

• The Internet user needs to have immediate access to your data: photos, documents, videos, audio files among others.

• Internet connection can be anywhere: home, work, airport, a friend's house, internet cafe, or many other places online. The concept involves "ALL available anywhere"

to schools means that in the near future no longer buy software licenses "software" but is paid for access to the programs that the center needed. The Cloud Computing for software companies is a decision as this is definitively ends with piracy of its programs for schools means paying for access, airtime, or both.

Using this concept, the textbook publishers are doing their digital offering. Ie digital textbooks are not purchased but will be paid by the student access to books. This change favors the business model of publishing than with the traditional textbook see a reduction in their sales when a student passed the course lets you book to another, this possibility with the Cloud Computing disappears.

Schools, therefore, must adapt their facilities to provide internet access in all classrooms to their students and they must have access at home. On the other hand, other schools use student management programs, in which use this technology generates mistrust and insecurity in terms of issues like data protection. Advantages

1. cost savings for families, digital books are supposed to be cheaper.
2. All information available with internet connection, anywhere
3. do not need backups.
4. software companies end up with hacking into their programs

Disadvantages

1. Depending on the connection, in rural areas, may be slow to access data from applications.
2. data, projects and availability is in the hands of others. It is true that SMEs and users, this problem is minor.
