Abstract

Cloud computing has reduced the large capital outlays for hardware storage and the human expense needed for its operation. As more institutions and organizations read and write (upload and download private data remotely on computer networks through an Internet connection, eliminating the need for local computer storage, data encryption from unauthorized access (intrusive hackers) becomes a priority. Tertiary institutions need for storage is a wide one, so the need for storing of data in the cloud arises simplifying data management and easing the workflow and pipeline of the staff, non-staff and students. The paper explores various research efforts, reviewed to introduce cloud to Tertiary institutions and employable methods for addressing the biggest fear of cloud adoption in educational organizations. This paper focuses on the security of data stored on the private cloud environment for tertiary institutions, proposing a security architecture for its infrastructure to employ for the satisfaction of such needs. For the purpose of this paper, the security of the private cloud is discussed with more focus on the Virtualization Infrastructure as a Service. This adopted security Architecture is integrated into the Proposed Tertiary Institution Cloud Computing Environment and ready for testing.
