Key metrics like server count were reduced by 63% while maintaining high service levels for 40,000 users. IT staff time recovered was estimated at 60-70% with no increase in staff as the university's data grew from 4-90TB.
ABSTRACT
In today’s world, the swift increase of utilizing mobile services and simultaneously discovering of the cloud computing services, made the Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) selected as a wide spread technology among mobile users. Thus, the MCC incorporates the cloud computing with mobile services for achieving facilities in daily using mobile. The capability of mobile devices is limited of computation context, memory capacity, storage ability, and energy. Thus, relying on cloud computing can handle these troubles in the mobile surroundings. Cloud Computing gives computing easiness and capacity such provides availability of services from anyplace through the Internet without putting resources into new foundation, preparing, or application authorizing. Additionally, Cloud Computing is an approach to expand the limitations or increasing the abilities dynamically. The primary favourable position of Cloud Computing is that clients just use what they require and pay for what they truly utilize. Mobile cloud computing is a form for various services, where a mobile gadget is able to utilize the cloud for data saving, seeking, information mining, and multimedia preparing. Cloud computing innovation is also causes many new complications in side of safety and gets to direct when users store significant information with cloud servers. As the clients never again have physical ownership of the outsourced information, makes the information trustworthiness, security, and authenticity insurance in Cloud Computing is extremely difficult and conceivably troublesome undertaking. In MCC environments, it is hard to find a paper embracing most of the concepts and issues such as: architecture, computational offloading, challenges, security issues, authentications and so on. In this paper we discuss these concepts with presenting a review of the most recent papers in the domain of MCC.

EXPLORATION OF INSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES FOR ADOPTING CLOUD COMPUTING IN E-LEA...IAEME Publication
Cloud computing is a new on-demand delivery of software and hardware resources to consumers over the internet. It has been proposed as a preferred solution for future systems of education. Furthermore, using cloud computing grows rapidly on various applications in different education fields such as E-learning. It has become a critical point on any institutional deploying, creating a remote educations system and designing of the perfect web-based learning environment. Cloud computing is distinguished by providing large storage resources with cost savings and faster data transfer. Nowadays, data of several social networks (photos, music, videos etc.) are stored in their own purchased cloud. As a consequence of using these applications, cloud computing is indirectly used is our life. Therefore, cloud computing (or cloud technology). In other words, the services that one can easily access these applications in electronic devices is called cloud computing.
E-learning systems basically require many software and hardware resources to implement education tasks effectively. Therefore, adopting available cloud-based application can make the tasks more affordable. Cloud offers the opportunity to work from anywhere and combines software, hardware and hosting services in a single structure with a technology that collects solutions for organizations. To achieve this goal, it facilitates the operation by enabling customers to reach the same data simultaneously. This article, thus, investigates barriers to implement cloud e-learning adoption in Iraqi education institutions.

THE IMPACT OF EXISTING SOUTH AFRICAN ICT POLICIES AND REGULATORY LAWS ON CLOU...csandit
Cloud computing promises good opportunities for economies around the world, as it can help reduce capital expenditure and administration costs, and improve resource utilization. However there are challenges regarding the adoption of cloud computing, key amongst those are security and privacy, reliability and liability, access and usage restriction. Some of these challenges lead to a need for cloud computing policy so that they can be addressed. The purpose of this paper is
twofold. First is to discuss challenges that prompt a need for cloud computing policy. Secondly, is to look at South African ICT policies and regulatory laws in relation to the emergence of cloud computing. Since this is literature review paper, the data was collected mainly through literature reviews. The findings reveals that indeed cloud computing raises policy challenges that needs to be addressed by policy makers. A lack of policy that addresses cloud computing challenges can
negatively have an impact on areas such as security and privacy, competition, intellectual property and liability, consumer protection, cross border and juridical challenges.

Opportunistic job sharing for mobile cloud computingijccsa
Cloud Computing is the evolution of new business era which is covered with many of technologies.These
technology are taking advantage of economies of scale and multi tenancy which are used to decrees the
cost of information technology resources. Many of the organization are eager to reduce their computing
cost through the means of virtualization. This demand of reducing the computing cost and time has led to
the innovation of Cloud Computing. Itenhanced computing through improved deployment and
infrastructure costs and processing time. Mobile computing & its applications in smart phones enable a
new, rich user experience. Due to extreme usage of limited resources in smart phones it create problems
which are battery problems, memory space and CPU. To solve this problem, we propose a dynamic mobile
cloud computing architecture framework to use global resources instead of local resources. In this
proposed framework the usefulness of job sharing workload at runtime reduces the load at the local client
and the dynamic throughput time of the job through Wi-Fi Connectivity.
Security and Privacy Solutions in Cloud Computing at Openstack to Sustain Use...Zac Darcy
Cloud computing is an emerging model of service provision that has the advantage of minimizing costs
through sharing and storage of resources combined with a demand provisioning mechanism relying on
pay-per-use business model. Cloud computing features direct impact on information technology (IT)
budgeting but pose detrimental impacts on privacy and security mechanisms especially where sensitive
data is to be held offshore by third parties. Even though cloud computing environment promises new
benefits to organizations, it also presents its fair share of potential risks. It is considered as a double edge
sword considering the privacy and security standpoints. However, despite its potential to offer a low cost
security, customer organizations may increase the risks by storing their sensitive information in the cloud.
Therefore, this study focuses on privacy and security issues that pose a challenge in maintaining a level of
assurance that is sufficient enough to sustain confidence in potential users.
In this study, survey questions were sent to different non-profit and government organizations, which
assisted in collecting fundamental information. The data was acquired by conducting surveys in OpenStack
Company to identify the critical vulnerabilities in the cloud computing platform in order to provide the
recommended solutions.
So, analysis will be made on how the cloud’s characteristics such as the nature of the architecture,
attractiveness, as well as, vulnerability are tightly related to privacy and security issues. Privacy and
security are complex issues for which there is no standard and the relationship between them is necessarily
complicated. The study also highlight on the inherent challenge to data privacy because it typically results
in data to be presented in an encryption from the data owner. Thus, the study aimed at obtaining a common
goal to provide a comprehensive review of the existing security and privacy issues in cloud environments,
and identify and describe the most representative of the security and privacy attributes and present a
relationship among them.
Finally, in order to ensure that the standard measure of validity is achieved, validity test was conducted in
order to ensure that the study is free from errors. Various recommendations were provided. The study also
explored various areas that require future directions for each attribute, which comprise of multi-domain
policy integration and a secure service composition to design a comprehensive policy-based management
framework in the cloud environments.
Lastly, the recommendations will provide the potential for security and privacy approaches that can be
implemented to improve the cloud computing environment to ensure that a level of trust is achieved

Abstract
Cloud Computing is an excellent alternative for Higher Education in a resource limited setting.
Universities should take advantage of available cloud-based application offered by service
providers and enable their own user/student to perform business and academic tasks. In this
paper, we will compare the cost between on-premise options and Cloud Computing. Two cost
estimates will be created, the firstfor building and setting up IT infrastructure in-house in Federal
University of Technology (FUTO), Nigeria while the second cost estimate will be for setting up IT
in the cloud for the same Institution.This will enable us know the cost benefit cloud has over on-
premise in setting up IT in Higher Educations.
Keywords: Cloud Computing, Higher Education, Cost Estimate, Virtualization, Cost Benefits.
1. INTRODUCTION
Institutions of higher education, in Nigeria and globally, are in the midst of historic times.
Endowments at private and public institutions of higher education typically relied on as a source
relief during financially troubled times, have experienced losses not seen since the Great
Depression [1]. To backfill the deficit and in the climate of unprecedented budget cuts, institutions
of higher education are invoking mass layoffs, steep tuition hikes, department closures,
mandatory furloughs, and early retirements; even the threat of closures of universities and college
systems looms, as evidenced by events in July 2011 that threatened to shutter the entire
University System [2].
To address this financial shortfall during this economic downtown in higher education have
resorted to a variety of cost-cutting measures, including significant cuts to information technology
(IT) budgets. For example, for the 2009-2010 academic year, 50 % of IT leaders at universities
and colleges in the U.S reported decreased funding in their IT budgets over the previous year. To
compound the problem, the purchasing power of these IT dollars has decreased; IT costs have
increased at a faster rate than the rate of inflation [3].
IT areas are perceived as significant cost centers, and for many administrators, despite the
institution’s reliance on technology in every aspect of its operation, it is difficult to accurately
calculate the return-on-investment (ROI) from the cost of information technology; similarly, it is
challenging to attribute to bigger cuts in the IT budget than many other areas on campus. The
Campus Computing Project, which annually surveys IT leaders at institutions of higher education
regarding critical issues in IT, reported that 42 % of colleges and universities experienced a
budget cut in their IT centralized services for the 2010-2011 academic year. (As indicated earlier,
2. NdukweIfeanyi G. & Amadi Emmanuel Chukwudi
International Journal of Computer Science and Security (IJCSS), Volume (7) : Issue (1) : 2013 2
50 % has already taken cuts to their IT budgets the previous year.) Yet, in sharp contrast to this
decrease in availability funding for IT services and support, the demand and expectations for IT
services and resources on college and university campuses, staff and faculty are at an all-time
high [4]. These increasing expectations have been ushered in largely by the growth of a new
breed of incoming students. Cloud computing is revolutionizing the way Higher Education are
implementing their information systems. Cloud computing has elevated IT to newer limits by
offering the market environment data storage and capacity with flexible scalable computing
processing power to match elastic demand and supply, whilst reducing capital expenditure [5]. As
a result, Cloud adaptation is spreading rapidly and represents a new opportunity that Universities
and Collages should not ignore given its profound impact.While there is no arguing about the
staying power of the cloud model and the benefits it can bring to any organization, mainstream
adaptation depends on several key variables falling into alignment that will provide users the
reliability, desired outcomes, and levels of trust necessary to truly usher in a “cloud revolution.”
Until recently, early adopters of cloud computing in the public and private sectors were the
catalyst for helping derive technological innovation and increased adaptation of cloud-based
strategies, moving us closer to this inevitable reality. Today, driven in large part by the financial
crisis gripping the global economy, more and more organizations are turning towards cloud
computing as a low-cost means of delivering quick-time-to-market solutions for mission-critical
operations and services [6].
2. DEFINING CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing, is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid [7]. It
essentially means that applications are actually accomplished through the use of many
computers that exist online, rather than on your local computer or web server. The name cloud
computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that is often used to represent the Internet in
flowcharts and diagrams [8].
Cloud Computing is a new paradigm in Information Technology (IT). There are several definitions
of the Cloud, ranging from very broad as almost everything on the Internet to the very narrow only
concerning Virtualization on servers only [9].
The basic idea is that anything that traditionally is possible in computing can be shifted to the
cloud; Communication, scientific computing, word processing etc. In their research Vaquero and
other researchers, proposed the following definition:
Clouds are a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware,
development platforms and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to
adjust to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization [10].
A closer look at the above definition provides us with the concept of virtualization of resource.
Looking at the word cloud, and already existing definitions the researcher propose the following
definition: A cloud is first a platform born from the internetworking concept. It provides easily
usable resources to its subscribers on a pay as you use basis or on a user agreement level in
a situation where organizations come together to put up the cloud platform for their joint
benefit. A cloud as the name imply can span over small to large geographical areas and even
the entire globe as being seen today. Thus in summary a cloud is backbone that trunks resources
to its users on an agreement level, as to usability and accessibility of available resources.
Today is the age of information technology. And according to kambil in the journal of business
strategy, the facets of work and personal life are moving towards the concept of availability of
everything online and understanding this trend, the big and giant web based companies like
Google, Amazon, Salesforce.com came with a model named “Cloud Computing” the sharing of
web infrastructure to deal with the internet data storage, scalability and computation [11]. A closer
look at the concept of cloud computing brings us to a point of ease and availability of resources

without the need of necessary software platform or compilers to go about application
development.
Current technological progress, particularly, in the past few decades, has demonstrated the need
for performing more and more complex computations. To meet this requirement, large and
complicated distributed systems have become essential. In Conventional IT environments, clients
connect to multiple servers located on company premises. Clients need to connect to each of the
servers separately. In Cloud Computing clients connect to the Cloud platform. The Cloud contains
all of the applications and infrastructure and appears as a single entity to the user. Cloud
Computing allows more efficient use of the resources by dynamically configuring resources to
cater for changes in the demand for load.
2.1 The Cloud Vs the Internet
The term ‘cloud’ is analogical to ‘internet. Cloud computing is an internet based computing
technology where virtual servers provide infrastructure, platform, software, devices and other
resources and hosting to customers on a pay-as-you-use basis [12]. Cloud computing customers
do not own the physical infrastructure rather they rent the usage form a third-party cloud provider
who owns the infrastructure.
The researcher sees the cloud as a concept that is similar to the internet in operation but not
same as the internet in principle and usage. The cloud platform runs on the internet platform in
that the distributed servers that host application are connected to the internet. In operation, the
cloud makes use of its distributed database servers for application utilization and access using
the internet as a route.
Basically, the internet is made up of servers located as various points in the globe. This servers
range in their capabilities and availability and has some level of limitations compared to a cloud
distributed server nature. Taking a bearing from the popular www.facebook.com platform that
runs on the cloud and a typical webpage of a government agency in the Nigerian environment;
the facebook platform has the ability to grant access at the same time to millions of users while
the government agency website may not have such capability. This difference is as a result of the
fact that the cloud is a more robust platform for interconnection as is runs on a distributed server
concept whereas the website runs on a single server system and might not be able stand millions
of hits at the same time from users.

2.2 Cloud Architecture
Cloud computing architecture consist of two components “the front end” and “the back end”. The
front end of the cloud computing system comprises the client’s device (or it may be a computer
network) and some applications are needed for accessing the cloud computing system. The back
end refers to the cloud itself which may encompass various computer machines, data storage
systems and servers. A group of these clouds make a whole cloud computing system. The whole
system is administered via a central server that is also used for monitoring clients demand and
traffic, ensuring the smooth functioning of the system. A special type of software called
“middleware” is used to allow computers that are connected on the network to communicate with
each other. Cloud computing systems also must have a copy of all its clients’ data to restore the
service which may arise due to a device breakdown; making a copy of data is called redundancy
[11].

2.3 Cloud Deployment Models
Deploying cloud computing can differ depending on requirements, the following four deployment
models proposed by the Dialogic Corporation have been identified, each with specific
characteristics that support the needs of the services and users of the clouds in a particular ways.
These models include Private cloud, Community cloud, Public cloud, and Hybrid cloud [13].
2.3.1 Private Cloud
The cloud infrastructure has been deployed, and is maintained and operated for a specific
organization. The operation may be in-house or with a third party on the premises. The private
cloud is also referred to as internal cloud or on-premise cloud, a private cloud intentionally limits
access to its resources to service consumers that belong to the same organization that owns the
cloud. In other words, the infrastructure is managed and operated for one organization only,
primarily to maintain a consistent level of control over security, privacy and governance.
Essential characteristics of a private cloud typically include:
• Heterogeneous infrastructure
• Customized and tailored policies
• Dedicated resources
• In-house infrastructure (capital expenditure cost model)
• End-to-end control.
2.3.2 Community Cloud
The cloud infrastructure is shared among a number of organizations with similar interests and
requirements. In this case, organizations come together to setup a cloud for their common
interest. Each organization has access to the platform based on their contributions to the overall
setup of the cloud system. This may help limit the capital expenditure costs for its establishment
as the costs are shared among the organizations. The operation may be in-house or with a third
party on the premises. This deployment model typically refers to special-purpose cloud computing
environments shared and managed by a number of related organizations participating in a
common domain or vertical market.
2.3.3 Public Cloud
The cloud infrastructure is available to the public on a commercial basis by a cloud service
provider or in some cases the government. This enables a consumer to develop and deploy a
service in the cloud with very little financial outlay compared to the capital expenditure
requirements normally associated with other deployment options. It is also known as external
cloud or multi-tenant cloud, this model essentially represents a cloud environment that is openly
accessible. It generally provides an IT infrastructure in a third-party physical data center that can
be utilized to deliver services without having to be concerned with the underlying technical
complexities.
Essential characteristics of a public cloud typically include:
• Homogeneous infrastructure
• Common policies
• Shared resources and multi-tenant
• Leased or rented infrastructure; operational expenditure cost model
6. NdukweIfeanyi G. & Amadi Emmanuel Chukwudi
International Journal of Computer Science and Security (IJCSS), Volume (7) : Issue (1) : 2013 6
• Economies of scale
Note that public clouds can host individual services or collections of services, allow for the
deployment of service compositions and even entire service inventories.
2.3.4 Hybrid Cloud
The cloud infrastructure consists of a number of clouds of any type, but the clouds have the ability
through their interfaces to allow data and/or applications to be moved from one cloud to another.
This can be a combination of private and public clouds that support the requirement to retain
some data in an organization, and also the need to offer services in the cloud.
FIGURE 3: Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud Deployment.
2.4 Cloud Services
Cloud computing services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is
sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic, meaning that a user can have as
much or as little of a service as they want at any given time; and service is fully managed by the
provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and internet access). Significant
innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed
Internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in cloud computing.
A cloud can be private or public. A public cloud sells services to anyone on the Internet.
Currently, Amazone Web Services is one of the largest public cloud providers.) A private cloud is
a proprietary network or a data center that supplies hosted services to a limited number of
people. When a service provider uses public cloud resources to create their private cloud, the
result is called a virtual private cloud. Private or public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide
easy, scalable access to computing resources and IT services.
2.4.1 Infrastructure as a Service
Infrastructure-as-a-Service like Amazon Web Services provide virtual server instance API to start,
stop, access and configure their virtual servers and storage. In the enterprise, cloud computing
allows a company to pay for only as much capacity as is needed, and bring more online as soon
7. NdukweIfeanyi G. & Amadi Emmanuel Chukwudi
International Journal of Computer Science and Security (IJCSS), Volume (7) : Issue (1) : 2013 7
as required. Because this pay-for-what-you-use model resembles the way electricity, fuel and
water are consumed; it’s sometimes referred to as utility computing.
2.4.2 Platform as a Service
Platform-as-a-Service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and product development tools
hosted on the provider’s infrastructure. Developers create applications on the provider’s platform
over the internet. PaaS provides many use API’s, website portals or gateway software installed
on the customer’s computer. Force.com, (an outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are
examples of PaaS. Developers need to know that currently, there are not standards for
interoperability or data portability in the cloud. Some providers will not allow software created by
their customers to be moved off the provider’s platform.
2.4.3 Software as a Service
In the Software-as-a-Service cloud model, the vendor supplies the hardware infrastructure, the
software products and interacts with the user through a front-end portal. SaaS is a very broad
market. Services can be anything from Web-based email to inventory control and database
processing. Because the service provider hosts both the application and the data, the end user is
free to use the service from anywhere.

3.4 Sample Cost Estimate for Cloud IT
This is the cost estimate for building and setting up IT in the cloud.
3.4.1 Project Management:
The budget experts for this project suggested using a labor rate of:
i. An average worker works 8 hours/day and 25 days/month giving a total of 200 hours (8 x 25)
ii. 800/hour for the project manager
iii. 300/hour for each team member
iv. Based on the working an average of 200 hours per month. The total hours for the project
manager per annum under this category are 2400 (200 x 12).
v. Costs are also included for the five project team members working an average of 200 hours
per month each. The total hours for a team of twenty members per annum are 12000 (5 x
200 x 12).
Note: Building applications using cloud computing technology is faster and makes collaboration
and team work easer and transparent hence, fewer number of team members can be used to
achieve more than would have with in-house development.
3.4.2 Staffing:
i. 400/hour for each Database Administrator (DBA)
ii. Average working hour for each DBA is 200 hours per month. The total hours for 5 DBAs per
annum will give 12000 (5 x 200 x 12)
Note: Network Administrators will not be required because there are no servers to be managed
when using a cloud platform to manage IT recourses.
3.4.3 Hardware:
Laptops: Twenty (6) laptops estimated at 150000 per unit. One for each team members and the
project manager.
3.4.4 Software:
Software Development: Development in the cloud is faster and cheaper because there are fewer
line codes of codes to write hence, based on rough estimate the cost of software development
will not be more than 2000000.

3.4.5 Service Providers:
i. Installations: MTN will provide the Dedicated ADSL connection with an installation fee that will
be based on survey but based on similar projects will be estimated to be 1000000 for fiber
optics installation.
ii. 1GBps Dedicated ASDN - Broadband Internet Subscription: The cost for 1Gbps is estimated
at 818/hour. Total number of hours for 9 months will be 7344 hours (306 days x 24 hours)
3.4.6 Testing:
Based on similar projects, testing will be estimated as 10 percent of the total hardware and
software cost.
3.4.7 Training and Support
The Cloud Platform we will be using provide a lot of hands on video tutorials hence fewer trainers
will be required which reduced from 20 to 5 one for each faculty.
Based on similar projects, testing will be estimated on per-trainee bases, plus transportation cost.
The cost per trainee will be 500/hour, and transportation will be 100/day/person for the
instructors and project team members. Training is meant to be conducted twice in a week for 2
hours/day. It is estimated that there will be a total of 40 training days. Total training counts for
twenty members will be 200 (40 x 5). Total training hours will be 400 (2 x 800).
3.4.8 Reserves:
As directed, reserves will be estimated at 5 percent of the total estimate due to lesser risk
involved in cloud computing technology.

The chart in Figure 4 compares the difference between Cost involved in deploying IT On-Premise
and that of cloud. However, we can see that the cost of each of the WBS Items required for the
Cloud is lesser than that of On-Premise except that of the Service Providers; this is because to
enjoy the benefits of the cloud a dedicated network is required to provide constant internet
access. Project Management Team, Staffing and Hardware cost is drastically reduced with cloud
technology because both the acquisition and maintenance of the IT Infrastructure is handled by
the cloud providers. Software development and deployment is done rapidly in the Cloud such that
one does not have to start from the scratch. Hence developers can come up with a fully functional
application in a very short time also one does not have to pay for SoftwareLicenses making the
costing for software development cheaper in the cloud. The cloud does not require any extracost
for hosting because the PaaS provides a platform to customize and build applications on the fly
all you need to do is just to pay the monthly subscription fee which was included as part of the
software cost.Testing applications in the cloud is also less expensive because an organization
does not need to purchase separate dedicated servers for testing their applications. Cloud
Providers provide on line support, webinars, video tutorials and materials hence fewer trainers is
required reducing the training cost drastically.
4.1. Percentage Difference
Comparing the percentage difference of Cloud vs. In-house, the total cost of In-house project in
TABLE1 is 56443631 while the total cost of Cloud-based project in TABLE2 is 22990464.
[ (56443631 – 22990464) / 56443631] x 100 = 59%.This result shows that Cloud Computing has
a way of greatly reducing Capital Expenditure Cost.
5. CONCLUSION
Building and setting up IT infrastructure for an Institution in Nigeria using cloud-based service
reduces IT cost by 50 - 60%, while lowering the employee learning curve and minimizing
equipment investments.One of the primary goals for Universities is to reduce the amount of time
and money required to procure, provision, and install new hardware systems [15]. Cloud-
Computing is also future-proof, as it is up to the provider to keep infrastructure up to date and
disaster-resistant, as a provider’s equipment is more likely to withstand flood than the typical
Higher Education in Nigeria.
