Summary/Abstract: Cloud services are understood and analyzed more technical perspective, and less in terms of benefits and changes that can bring them this new model for education. Current technology trends indicate that the future of the web will be oriented towards Cloud technologies. Cloud will be provided "as a service" and the Internet of the future will be a tight connection between humans, electronic devices and services. CWS concept (Cloud-based Web Services) describes a platform that connects multiple data storage centers and generate new ways to unify distributed web services. For this reason, the CWS is an essential part of the Cloud environment. In this context, Cloud computing is a modern computerized infrastructure that facilitates rapid provision of resources required. From this perspective, the Cloud platform has changed the way of development and execution of applications in the educational environment. Because the distribution of an application or information or a very fast course, the environment offered by cloud it is understood as a service provider platform (PaaS -Platform as a Service). Using services Clod can be created Centre of shared services at the university, which improves the quality of the educational process (digital content, e-learning, educational hands-on, on demand, training customized, flexible, knowledge management or management route of instruction). Cloud computing enables applications to run without having to infrastructure or constant updates, thus providing effective valid or innovative solutions. The educational environment creates their own applications using tools and libraries provided by the Cloud provider, setting up their development and application, while the service provider provides infrastructure and manages the infrastructure.
