Among the most transformative innovations is cloud computing, a technology that enables access to data and applications over the internet instead of relying on local servers or personal computers.

From virtual classrooms to collaborative research, cloud computing is revolutionizing higher education, especially for students.

WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services like storage, databases, software, and networking over the internet — or "the cloud." This eliminates the need for physical infrastructure and gives users access to scalable and flexible resources from anywhere in the world.

WHY CLOUD COMPUTING MATTERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global cloud computing in education market is projected to grow from USD 8.13 billion in 2016 to USD 25.36 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 25.6% (MarketsandMarkets, 2017). This growth reflects the increasing need for scalable, cost-effective, and remote learning solutions.
