Information and communication technology (ICT) plays a significant role in education. Cloud computing is a relatively new technology in ICT. It has drastically changed the way ICT services are used in organisations. In education sector, many education institutions have started to recognise the usefulness and importance of adopting cloud computing technology, and some have started to adopt the technology in the organisation. There are several issues that must be taken into account when adopting cloud computing. They encompass technological factors, environmental factors and organisational factors. This paper aims to highlights the organisational factors within the context of cloud computing adoption in education, focusing on the e-learning domain area.

“…However, the commonly used definition indicates that cloud computing is a cluster of distributed computers that offer ondemand resources and services over a networked medium commonly the internet (Sultan, 2010). It is worth understanding that it entails the deployment of groups of remote servers and software networks, which allow the centralized storage of data and access to computer services through the internet (Mokhtar et al 2013). located in the cloud provider's premises and the user has no physical control over it.…”

Keywords:Cloud computing, Cloud computing business framework, quality of service, quality of experience.Abstract: This paper discusses the adoption of cloud computing in education. It emphasizes the view that cloud computing is vital in the education sector because of its ability to reduce the overall costs of IT infrastructure installation and maintenance, improvement of efficiency, and the sharing of IT resources among students. The flexibility of cloud computing and its reliability makes it more appropriate for use in the educational environment. The Leeds Beckett University cloud project utilizes the SAS Educational Value-Added Assessment System, which gives lecturers the opportunity to deliver accurate content to students while monitoring their progress. Contemporary educational institutions should look forward to improve their research and education through cloud computing.

“…Unlike the traditional approach where computing tasks were completed by a single computer with high performance, cloud computing links multiple computers with relatively low independent computing capabilities together into a server cluster that acts like a large community in order to complete the computing task. In 2002, Amazon began to offer a new form of cloud computing service [4]. The Web-based Google App Engine as well as the Microsoft Azure Platform based on .NET subsequently appeared.…”

With the popularization of Web applications and the emergence of cloud computing technology, database management and storage has evolved from PC to Web-based, even to cloud-based services as well. Also, with big data applications in cloud computing, more many organizations will eventually move their data from Web applications to a cloud-based environment. Except the cloud migration method, the cloud platform must provide an automatic tool in application and data migration for easy implementation. The existing Sqoop data migration tool requires users to be familiar with existing migration commands or move the data manually to a cloud-based database. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to design a new automatic data migration tool named MSCH using the migration of MySQL to HBase as an example to improve on the processing performance of Sqoop. After simulations, the experimental results show that the MSCH migration tool was 33 %, 25 %, and 15 % faster than Sqoop in terms of number of entries. CPU utilization during migration was also reduced by 35 %, 43 %, and 33 %, while memory usage was reduced by 90 %, 72 %, and 74 %, proving that the MSCH data migration tool shortens data migration time and lowers the load on computing resources to enhance the performance in data migration under cloud-based environment. Further studies will be conducted to determine the migration accuracy ratio of MSCH migration tools and Sqoop.
