Abstract

Writing on the importance of internet stated that student offering correspondence course in Africa have the benefit of the use of e mail and World Wide Web to embark on studies online. Consequently, time and distance is no longer a barrier to research because at any time of the day, contact can be made to gather the needed information from anywhere in any part of the world. Given the many different cloud services and capabilities of the public cloud, there has been some confusion between cloud computing and major uses, such as web hosting. While the public cloud is often used for web hosting, the two are quite different. A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional web hosting. Users can access large amounts of computing power on demand. It is typically sold by the minute or the hour. It is elastic -- users can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time. The service is fully managed by the provider -- the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and internet access. Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed internet, have accelerated interest in cloud computing. Nigeria is linked to the internet hence it is possible for Nigerian researchers to access up to date information from the net to make their research, journal articles, conference/ workshop/ seminar papers, technical reports, scientific findings known worldwide. The cloud service market has no shortage of providers.
