FUTURE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM USE OF PRIVATE CLOUD-BASED COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE IN DELTA STATE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, MOSOGAR

Abstract

The study investigates the potential adoption of a private cloud-based computing architecture as a future administrative framework for Delta State College of Education, Mosogar, Nigeria. A private cloud architecture provides enhanced data security, better administrative control, and flexible system customization. The proposed model incorporates critical features like user authentication, role-based access control, and integration with key platforms such as the Learning Management System (LMS) and Human Resource (HR) systems, designed to support remote access, automated provisioning, and real-time monitoring to enhance administrative efficiency. The research outlines the four main types of cloud computing architectures, which are; private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud with the explaination of the core service models. For effective implementation, the proposed system utilizes clustered resources such as computing power, storage, and networking to ensure scalability and performance. A general architectural framework and implementation roadmap are presented, highlighting the strategic role of cloud technology in modernizing educational administration. The study concludes by recommending the private cloud approach as a means to improve operational effectiveness, ensure data integrity, and strengthen the institution’s administrative capacity.
