SSST-Cloud: Developing a Cloud System for a University

Cloud systems are becoming increasingly popular for sharing various types of files and accessing them from different locations. The idea behind it seems simple and ideal for different types of users. The reality, on the other hand, is quite different. Companies for example, might require certain functionalities that an off-the-shelf cloud system cannot provide. Universities have certain procedures regarding sharing of grades and other course related materials that must be met during the development of the cloud system in order for it to be useful and efficient. In this paper, we talk about the functionalities that a cloud system has to provide and the technical requirements it has to meet in order to be successfully implemented and used by a University, its students and professors. Thorough analysis was performed to analyze the drawbacks of current solutions and consequently, offer a novel approach in developing cloud systems for one particular private University.
