  Education today is becoming completely associated with the Information
Technology on the content delivery, communication and collaboration. The need
for servers, storage and software are highly demanding in the universities,
colleges and schools. Cloud Computing is an Internet based computing, whereby
shared resources, software and information, are provided to computers and
devices on-demand, like the electricity grid. Currently, IaaS (Infrastructure
as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service)
are used as business model for Cloud Computing. The paper also introduces the
cloud computing infrastructure provided by Microsoft, Google and Amazon Web
Service. In this paper we will review the features the educational institutions
