The ever changing class room experience of students is now incorporating an extensive use of cloud based technology. From submitting and accessing assignments, to having presentations and preparing reports, everything is being stored and shared through cloud based platforms. Among these, read about the 5 most popular as given below.
Though cloud computing has been a buzz word for several years now and has already been used by enterprises and corporations, we have barely begun to understand and utilize it as a versatile technology. Unavailability or scantiness of the right platforms for cloud development and teaching its fundamentals has been one of reasons for this!
Several such platforms, however, have begun to evolve and can now be used to get the purpose served.
Following are five major and popular cloud teaching platforms:
Appistry
This platform has been successfully targeting PaaS-based courses for over a decade now. One of the major features of Appistry includes expansion of the usability of existing software. It not only enables students to develop out-of-the-box thinking while employing functional applications, but also encourages them to work as independent and confident contributors.
The teaching model is perhaps the best tool for companies that look forward to control their overall operational costs and even more importantly, help their technicians hone their knowledge and experience! There will be no need to be dependent of any rented app stages available on the public cloud once they are able to successfully do it. Their own technicians will be able to develop all required industry-specific applications, meeting all potential challenges without having to rely on generic software!
Windows Azure
A Microsoft-based platform, Windows Azure is one of the few podiums that know everything about hosting as well as the basics of network interactions. Another advantage of this amazing platform is that it focuses more on the architectural side of cloud computing compared to other platforms.
The Azure is the best example of how we should scale the network and carry out extensive research on it, especially when it is true that every organization needs to develop and execute more applications to ensure growth.
AppScale
This platform is based on search engines and is highly helpful in setting up the cloud, mostly on a web-based area of function. Even though the platform can adapt to any network, it best works with mass of related software of a particular search engine. Its focus is mainly on application profiling as a cloud teaching course.
AT&T
AT&T makes it possible for one to have a presence on the World Wide Web and be independent at the same time! You need not own your private cloud to manage your affairs and remotely host core infrastructural layers. It can be the best way to know how to develop software, for it allows a user to freely use the tools and stats they own.
Amazon EC2
This is one of the most flexible and functional cloud courses that help you learn how to expand and contract space depending upon your needs. It is also helpful for IT enthusiasts who tend to test new apps or upload something big.
