The world has changed and we have to change with it. Researchers are no longer limited by ideas or knowledge but rather by access to the computing resources required to execute the experiments and analyze the results. If there is a centralized cloud which is organized by government it'll be useful. Such resource could stabilize the academic playing field. Smaller institutions have a limited access to the resources. We could not foresee that from where innovative ideas could stimulate. But this centralized cloud could improve the collaboration between the researchers which would result in a foster R&D. And of course, education is one of the factor to determine the wealth of the nations and mobility of the citizens, we have to upgrade ourselves to compete with others. Here in this paper, I have discussed cloud computing, its aspects, some ongoing clouds, future scenarios and a sculpt of centralized cloud for higher education.
