1.0 Introduction
In this sophisticated age, Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in an organization to be competitive with other organizations. Organizations need to find a solution to remain progressive in the industry. In higher education, institutions of higher education in Malaysia should be aware that technological advances are moving fast to make sure they can stay in the education industry. If not, they will be far behind and may not be sustainable in the education industry. So, what is needed in an educational organization to remain progressive and sustainable in the education industry? Students at this age could no longer be confronted with traditional ways like going to the lecture halls, send assignments to the lecturer's room or attend a tutorial class each day. So, one approach or technique needs to adapt to every single higher educational institution in Malaysia to give more quality in teaching and learning environment, to arranged the organization more easily and the lastly to meet the students diverse need. The answer all the question above is a cloud computing.
In Malaysia current environment, not many educational institutions use cloud computing. Malaysia higher educational institution not have been exposed with this technologies while higher educational institution in oversea such as United Kingdom and U.S had long been exposed with cloud computing technologies.
This assignment will briefly discuss about the meaning cloud computing and the applying cloud computing strategy to stay competitive in the educational industry for Malaysian higher educational institution. I will also look into a few challenges that need to be recognized by Malaysian higher educational institution in adopting cloud c...

...han that, I can explain how the cloud computing can lead the Malaysian Higher Educational Institution to a more successful organization in the future. In addition, I also gain an understanding the reliability and scalability in the cloud computing adoption to the Malaysian Higher Educational Institutions. Last but not least, I can point out the cloud computing security challenges and cloud computing recommendation for the Malaysian Higher Educational Institutions to stay competitive advantage in the education industry.

Cloud is the result of a decade research in the field of distributing computing , utility computing, virtualization , grid computing and more recently software, network services and web technology which is changeable evolution on demanding technology and services also as looking to the rapid growth of cloud computing which have changed the global computing infrastructure as well as the concept of computing resources toward cloud infrastructure. The important and interest of cloud computing increasing day by day and this technology receives more and more attention in the world (Jain, 2014) the mostly widely used definition of cloud computing is introduced by NIST “as a model for enabling a convenient on demand network access
As new technology starts to be introduced, online classes will start to be provided more. More students will have online assignments where they can have the option to stay home or physically go to school to work on them. This would help schools with the costs of devices, school foods, books, and the actual buildings. The technology we have now in education is close to this ideal situation of future education. However, the students in high school and grades under are required to go to school. The technology is advancing quickly and when people start to involve education with advancing technology, students are going to be prepared for future educations and their knowledge of computer skills and will be prepared for a higher rate of
The world is changing and becoming more competitive as nation states begin to access the great equalizer, the internet. This tool will create greater competition for our students to compete in the 21st century as nations begin to harness the power that the internet provides. As this playing field levels, educational institutions must find ways to help their students maintain a competitive advantage.
Cloud computing is the transfer of computing data or information into Internet. Cloud computing services allows individuals and businesses to
Assess how Ericsson benefitted from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability.
The cloud computing is the practice that enables access to the shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be dynamically provisioned. It refers to both the applications delivered as service as well as hardware and system software in the data centres that provide those services. The attractive features of cloud computing such as on-demand access, high scalability, reliability, cost savings, low maintenance and energy efficiency bring benefits to both cloud service consumers and providers.

Distance learning, sometimes called e-learning, is a formalized teaching and learning system specifically designed to be carried out remotely by using electronic communication. People could find out distance learning on the internet or searching form the school, sometimes teachers would introduce the best or the most credibility distance learning web. Such as class.com and University of Phoenix, etc. Distance learning is less expensive and is not constrained by geographic considerations; it offers opportunities in situations where traditional education has difficulty operating. Students with scheduling or distance problems can benefit, as can employees, because distance education can be more flexible in terms of time and can be delivered virtually anywhere. Under the unified leadership of the distance learning education, the modern distance learning education work gradual increase the number of school has now reached a certain scale. However, not every school or any distance learning education has clear idea for the modern education. Many people have differences understandings and it formed a big deviation. It can be said, for the purpose of developing the distance learning education and the hopes has not formed a consensus, which leads to very often difficult to form in the actual work force.
University can implement cloud computing since it often requires most advanced tools for teaching, sharing data and advanced instructions. Students working on a particular project from our university can virtually connect and work with other students from a different place with the help of cloud computing to achieve common goals and this can greatly help in gaining lots of
The only problem is that some of today's schools are hindered by an under-powered technology based curriculum and, in order to stay competitive, the American educational system must do a better job of integrating. Computers have made a fundamental change in most industries, providing a competitive advantage that has come to be essential to stay in business. Therefore, education must also use technology to improve the educational process instead of simply applying it to existing structures. School systems often consider acquiring an enterprise computer network, but justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, or take period by period attendance.
Despite predictions, new technology affects most service industries very much. Education is fast becoming resource based with students in primary, secondary, technical, and tertiary levels expected to do their own research and projects independent of class teachers with schools networking and teaching through video conferencing. The conventional teacher is fast becoming obsolete, with the number of permanent teachers reducing,
In an age of rapid change due to so many technology and innovative advances, a revolutionary change in the educational system is as vital as what our next energy source is. Education is the most powerful wealth in the world and it demands more attention, and where better to start with than out youth. The school system will soon go out of date due to the information highway and information availability if there isn?t a dramatic change in the way things are run in our domestic institutional facilities. The reason why college was such a success in the 20th century was because books were all of a sudden available to students on university campus. Now with internet, a student could specialize their profession solely with the computer with the click of a button. Something needs to be done to smoothen the rigid gaps and cracks in the school system before the technological pace at which we are advancing decides to bring the whole thing down.
In cloud computing, the word cloud is used as a metaphor for “the internet”. So the cloud computing means “a type of internet-based computing”, where different services such as servers, storage and applications are delivered to an organization’s computers and devices through the internet.
As you can see the future for the education world is bright. There are many developments to make education more efficient, simpler, and equal for all from
Vision Statement: My vision is to ensure that every student gains the acceptable knowledge to understand and learn the concepts of what education has to offer. Within this context I perceive integrating technology as a tool that will expand learning abilities. Therefore, my vision is to provide instructional technology skills into the curriculum. As a follower of the 21st Century Framework I will set into the standards of education the 21st Century themes, the mastery of core subjects, learning and innovation skills, information media and technology skills along with life and career skills to ensure that every student masters these skills. Stimulating an academic environment that is dedicated to support and enhance student’s commitment to today’s digital world will promote success.
