Abstract
This shift involves the movement of applications, documents and other stored content from desktop-based to web-based through the utility known as the ‘cloud'. The cloud links thousands of computers and servers together where users are not limited to one device but are able to access their documents and other contents through any computer device, provided it has the ability to connect to the Internet. This allows for better storage capacity, lower costs, scalability and on-demand access. Higher education institutions are opting to reap the same benefits of cloud computing. Students, academics, administrators, and other users will be able to access computing resources through university applications, e-mail, databases and other cloud hosting services. This book chapter provides a general understanding of cloud computing systems and what benefits and challenges of cloud computing in higher education. It is followed by the trends of cloud computing usage and considerations needed for adopting cloud computing. The chapter will end with recommendations needed for adopting cloud computing.
