Fadil, KHALDI Mohamed, Dr. Mohamed A. El Hindi, Hythem A. Abdalla Abstract— The need for education in this time has became a constantly growing and developing and improving e- learning important solutions, so we need the e-learning systems to keep the pace with the technology. The new direction is to use cloud computing, Cloud computing is highly scalable and creates virtualized resources that can be made available to users will have a significant impact on the educational environment in the future. Cloud computing is an excellent alternative for educational institutions which are especially under budget shortage in order to operate their information systems effectively without spending any more capital for the computers and network devices. In Sudan, using wireless Internet Wi-Fi, In order to take advantage of the products based on the low cost of cloud computing enables students to access electronic paintings and mobile devices to the Internet 24 hours a day.

INTRODUCTION The nature of the Internet was constantly changing from a place used to read web pages to an environment that allows end-users to run software applications. The need for education is increasing constantly and the development and the improvement of the e-learning solutions is necessary. Also, the E- learning systems need to keep the pace with the technology, so the new direction is to use cloud computing. Cloud computing is becoming an attractive technology because of its dynamic scalability and effective usage of the resources; it can be utilized under circumstances where the availability of resources is limited. The need for education is increasing constantly and the development and the improvement of the e-learning solutions is necessary. Also Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction[1]. Cloud computing caters for desirable properties to provide e-learning services, especially in scenarios where these services are computer-intensive (virtual worlds, simulations, video streaming, etc.), or are offered in a high-scale way, as in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The cloud can provide students and teachers with tools to deploy computing resources on-demand for lectures and labs according to their learning needs. Some educational institutions are already using cloud computing to outsource email services, to offer collaboration tools and data storage for students and to host institutional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) (Sclater, 2010a) [2]. Fig (1) the general concept of cloud computing [3]. Add to that The cloud computing, enables intelligent transportation systems to solve the problem of severe traffic congestion, so that the growth in the automotive sector provides more jobs in the supply chain, the intelligent transportation systems may already provide new people and new comers to the cities [4]. The development and spread of information technology at this time helped in the presence of cloud computing rapidly became all public and private companies and educational institutions in Europe are using cloud computing in all the fields of process. Although the beginning of the spread of cloud computing in the European
