ABSTRACT: Cloud Computing is considered in three out of ten top strategic technology trends for 2014 year according to Gartner [1]. In my opinion it is the green field for all IT researcher to develop our Higher Education (HE). The Universities in this time is becoming completely dependent with the IT on their teaching-learning, communication, service delivery, and business requirements. whereby shared resources, software and information, are provided to computers and devices on-demand, like the electricity grid. With the rapid growth of Cloud Computing, the use of Clouds in educational settings can provide great opportunities for reduction of in-house data centers and the delegation of a portion or all of the Information Technology infrastructure capability to a third party, giving the opportunity for students and teachers to quick access to various applications, systems and resources through the Internet, and share files and documents, and the exchange of duties and projects among students ”improving their learning outcomes”. Meanwhile, all of services on Cloud Education can be accessed using any devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablet computers. Despite all of advantages of cloud, computing it still not fully adopted in academic institutions sector. It is only 4% of cloud computing used in education and the other 96% is related to industrial sectors and services [2]. Hence, The paper discusses the advantages of cloud computing for educational institutions, The research finding shows that Cloud Computing is the better Information and Communications Technology (ICT) utilization mechanism for Education. This paper identifies the reasons for the slow rate of adoption of cloud computing at university level in Yemeni universities, discusses the challenges faced and proposes a cloud computing adoption framework that contains strategic guidelines to overcome the major challenges identified and a roadmap called CCFYU (Cloud Computing Framework for Yemeni Universities) for the successful adoption of cloud computing by universities, case study Alandalus university, sana’a university and science and Technology university. The Data sources are direct observation of the employees of universities, student and teacher and make interview with the engineer in Yemen net that is the ISP for Yemen. The researcher engaged the heads of the various companies selected for this study likes Yemen soft and Natco companies to establish relationship with them and explain the benefits of this research as well as scheduling for the interview appointments that dial with the cloud computing services and interview with the IT support for university and make questionnaires “online and offline” of student, some employees and some teachers, And is analyzed through SPSS statistical Software all that for Evaluation the readiness of Yemeni universities to use cloud computing and to help overcome the challenges of transition for secure cloud computing or safety migration through CCFYU and five stages as a roadmap help the universities and any organization to do self assessment before adoption to the cloud computing.
