Abstract

Over the past decades, the education has been never refurbished to be delivered on a platform like cloud. An application like a cloud, creates an illusion of a live classroom with the help of technologies like virtualization which creates an instance of a real component like a server, operating system, data, storage etc. Education industry has taken a leap towards advancement by adopting certain technologies in order to improve the quality of teaching and to enhance the ease of understanding of the concepts. Teaching now days is not only confined to the chalk and boards rather it has new trends like 3-D animations to make the things more crystal clear. Hence, empowers the students with the real-world scenarios and career ready skills. Technology has paved the way for this disruptive change. Traditionally, it was really hard to believe that teaching will ever be able to cross the geographical barriers. But the technological advancements it is now possible to reach to each and every student and a teacher. Moreover, technology have removed all the constraints in learning by providing ease of access and enhanced the learning more. But with the increased reach ability and ease of access to any resource, comes the problem of resource provisioning. One of the advancements that drive development for this need is distributed computing. Distributed computing is a mind-boggling innovation that makes ready for progressions with the assistance of virtualization.
